I'm trying to build an RSS Reader using javascript, and i want to know if someone have some project of this type.

I'm already have this working via PHP RSS Parser (using KohanaPHP or SimplePie), but with increment of RSS feeds, the server gets heavy load.
Because of this, i'll try to build an javascript alternative (to share the load with user), and choosed mootools as framework (because the simplicity and power of moo ;P~ ).

Someone have any piece of this? Already working, planning to work, ...? Any link, advices or indications?

Thanks for attention :)

you want to read directly the rss from mother site using js?
i think this is not possible, or u will have to find some cross-domain
solutions.

another approach would be to serve the xml file using a simple curl on
your server, then to process it with mootools.
adding a cache will save your server to be banned from that resource
and save ur bandwidth :)

sound interesting, maybe flXHR could help to get past the cross-domain barrier to make the clients catch their feeds themselves.
Haven't tried it with mootools myself yet but the site says it will integrate transparently

hellspawn: Oops...I completely forgot the part of cross-domain aspect
(Cold water in my balls... ouch).
Thanks for clarifying ;)

Cache will helps only the unfrequently updated feeds. I had to put
some feeds that have less-than-minute updates (almost real-time), with
more than 60~100 items. :( But the curl idea can helps.

I'll try now load every RSS separately via Ajax, with his own
frequency update. Each ajax response will be created at my domain, and
each with his own frequency update (and cache renew time), instead of
one global value. I debugged some things, and concluded that the slow
response of server is because of one or two RSS feeds sloooooow
responses. I'll try to tweak timeout too...

yproject: Your website is not loading correctly right now... Timeout
all times. :(
But I fav'ed and will check later.

Martin: Thanks for flXHR tip. Checking right now!

Already commented your code post.

Maybe some network issue yesterday. Because none of my 3 installed
browsers (IE7, FF, GC) opened.

I'll try to implement on my personal site when i have some spare time.

Thanks for your time.
