PHP based RSS Aggregator / Planet
I have been looking for an online planet system written in PHP for the last few days. The goal is to collect multiple RSS feeds and show them on a single site. Now it is possible to write up a script for this, and there are a few available. But I wanted something with more features. Something like the Planet in Python.
I shortlisted MetaPlanet and Gregarius. And found Gregarius to be very interesting. MetaPlanet configuration is a bit demanding, and it does not seem to be in active development any more. Gregarius on the other hand, is very well designed. Their website is also very informative and it’s under active development.
Three wishes I have for Gregarius:
1. I wish it had a calendar feature!
2. I wish I could easily make it a simple Planet, rather than an RSS Aggregator.
3. I wish it could handle img tags in the feeds better, and show proper images!
