trawlr.com online rss agregator

Announcing my first major Ruby on Rails project: www.trawlr.com an online rss agregator.

Unlike most rss feed readers (both online and offline clients) it shows the feed items as a river of news (items from all feeds are shown together). It also has feed tagging – for instance tagging your favourite feeds.

Web 2.0 Checklist

• Ruby on Rails
• AJAX
• Pastel colours
• Tagging

It’s still in an early phase (alpha) but I would love for people to try it out and let me know how it goes (although I can’t guarantee that the data won’t be destroyed during future development)!

Give it a whirl and let me know if you like it (it’s also completely free). It was created to have a play with Ruby on Rails and to scratch an itch that I personally had – reading the same rss feeds from multiple places (work & home) which is tricky with offline clients.
