Go's feed reader?

[mattn]

As you know, google reader will close soon. Do you know someone who are writing a feed reader in written in golang?

[Jackie Li]

That'd be great!

I am definitely a user!

Unfortunately no. And I would love to use that, especially with http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/8782

I'm only aware of one nice google reader clone but... it's written in Java...

I plan to write an idiosyncratic one that instead of having a web interface, just spits out each new item as an email. Probably unappealing to most people. Maybe I should actually start because the closure is looming!

We are writing one for app engine: github.com/velour/feedme.  It will be a very simple reader with an acme-inspired look.  It's currently live at feed--me.appspot.com (yes, two hyphens in the name).  I wouldn't recommend using it yet because it's still extremely new, under active development, buggy, and we may clear the database entries without notice; but, we would really appreciate testing, bug reports, and any help that people want to provide.

Best,

Ethan

Have you heard of rss2email? It's written in Python, not Go. I switched to rss2email from Google Reader 6 months ago and don't it at all.

I'm working on one: https://github.com/mjibson/goread

Early demo at: http://go-read.appspot.com/

Still in testing (data is occasionally purged).

[frou]

Nope, so thanks for the link. I'll probably just use that then. It could still be fun to try, but probably just as a toy that expects all feeds to be perfectly formed and served, because I suspect that coping with all the subtleties of feeds in the wild is the hard part.

Started one. Go seems a good fit with goroutines, channels and possibly the websocket package. Nothing useful at the moment. Will update on progress if any.

That's exactly what I want, I love having my RSS feeds available even when I'm not on the internet.

I have some general code for reading RSS feeds I can share with you.

It is. I've had to do that in a Python program.

If you want to poll an RSS feed periodically and get new
items, that often doesn't work the way you would expect.
The "Etag" parameter is supposed to be passed on requests after
the first request, and if the server returns a 304 status, nothing
has changed. Some servers do that right, some don't implement it
all, and on some servers, it works some of the time.

The "some of the time" case comes up with sites that have
multiple RSS servers and a load balancer. The servers may
not be in sync with respect to etag values, guid values, or
pubDate.

Reuters is reasonably well behaved, although when
a story is revised, it gets a new guid even if the
synopsis on the RSS feed didn't change.

Twitter (yes, every Twitter feed has a matching RSS feed, although
Twitter doesn't publicize it much) is awful. Nothing short of
comparing the content will remove duplicates. I had to hash the
content fields and keep a map of previously seen items.

Sorry for delay.

Looks nice! I'll try in later.

[mattn]

Looks nice. :)

It seems that I can't import some feeds. Caused by multi-byte string?

I did this via my rss-smash app and https://ifttt.com/
