Wow, what a great idea, and largely fantastic implementation! It really looks good.

Do RSS feeds have "just" text that you pull to get the article content, or are you parsing the webpage somehow? If so, how?

I've done something slightly (well, about 1% :-) similar for the "Popular" page on pinboard[0]. It used to have a line or two from the start of the article, using a webpage content extractor that got turned off, so I can't use it anymore.

One arguably nice thing about mine is that it's updated once a day, and it remembers what you've read yesterday, so new articles are marked, and you can flip a switch to see the new stuff first.

Thanks!
