After all the development (and not as much testing ;)), I desided to open up preprocessing configuration tool. This part of the interface allows you to control how feed items get processed for you and there are currently 6 modification modules: Link from description (regex) – useful when feed owner is putting a link to…

In preparation to next development phase (remember that preprocessing configuration interface?) I rewrote large chunk of code in more object-oriented way then it was originaly done (release early makes it’s evil deed). So it’s quite possible that some functionality got broken even though I tested the code after the change. Please let me know if…

I’m working on configuration manager for Feed Preprocessor to give you more control over your feeds. Some time ago I’ve added an interface for global configuration (I never posted about it because only I can see it) and today I changed how one of preprocessing modules work and changed some global preprocessing configuration that you’ll…

I was pretty tired past week because of this bullshit with carpeting in my apartment and a lot of information I got from Syndicate and Streaming Media East, but I spent some time on improoving friends interaction as well as feed management. Now you can see not only your friends but people who added as…

Syndicate Event type: Conference Date: 2006-05-23 I'm back from the conference. It was quite interesting even though everything looked like early stage for the business. I loaded my new iPod Video with Rocketboom, installed structured blogging wordpress plugin for this blog and gave away some Feed Friends business cards. Now it's time to get more hands dirty with Feed Friends guts - more features to come. Tags: rss

Right before going to Syndicate conference, I opened Feed Friends to public. It’s still in very raw state and several actions fail without giving user any feedback e.g.: Atom feeds are not supported yet If feed fails to pass initial import it appears untitled and some more But it works for me, works form some…

FeedFriends toolbar left incubator and now available to all users. Now all the links in the feed are converted on the fly to toolbar links (with same base module that absolutizes links and helps to see those images that got corrupted otherwise). What it means is that target page is opened inside a frame and…

Now links in descriptions are being absolutized relative to original feed URL upon fetching. This is supposed to fix missing images and broken links which are caused by feed item being moved from original feed (preprocessed feed, then friends feed and so on). I wrote perl class that allows changing all links in HTML code…

OPML generation is fixed so I hope you’ll get correct results. You can regenerate OPML without changing the list of feeds by just clicking here. If you still have bugs, please let me know by making a comment to this post including bug description and OPML feed URL.

I’m sorry to say that but all items shared so far (all 21 of them) were lost during old item deletion process testing. Luckily only 2 of them were not mine, sorry, Dima, I hope that overall system performance will make you happy and you’ll forget those two tiny messages. P.S. I’ll be making daily…
