This is a product space/market that many have attempted in the past and failed. I have probably used a dozen different feed readers in the past 10+ years, and this is the first time that I have signed up for a new product in this space and been genuinely excited.
Great work. Content publishers will also like this because you aren't scraping, and you are preserving the original format of their content.
(Bug report - are you auto-detecting feed urls? I put in the domain for my own site and it didn't find the feed, although it is referenced as a rel. You also don't have Sydney as a timezone)
- conesus 16y agoSydney has been added. 'Australia/Adelaide': '(GMT+09:30) Adelaide', 'Australia/Darwin': '(GMT+09:30) Darwin', 'Australia/Brisbane': '(GMT+10:00) Brisbane', 'Australia/Sydney': '(GMT+10:00) Sydney, Hobart' As for the feed url, i'm not sure why it missed your rel'ed RSS. Email the site to me and I'll get cracking on it.

- nikcub 16y agoEmail sent. You may also want to add Melbourne. They get a bit touchy whenever there is a list of cities and they are not included. (out of interest, are you using pytz?)
- bmelton 16y agoIf he's using Python, he's likely using "feedfinder.py", by Aaron Swartz. It doesn't find your feed at all. It looks like your feed isn't being served with an appropriate mime-type -- or at least not one that it understands. Seems to be failing in the 'test' method.
- nikcub 16y agoThanks - something for me to fix possibly. Serving as application/xml atm. I know that lib, will look into it.
- jrockway 16y agoNever heard of anyone using this content type. It's typically the application name with XML as a modifier, "application/xhtml+xml" or "application/atom+xml". "text/xml" is the generic catch-all but is not valid for feeds.
