Tiny Tiny RSS is a server-side RSS feed aggregator written in PHP and heavily based on XmlHttpRequest and related technologies for user interface and operation.
For years I've been searching for a perfect RSS aggregator. I tried desktop ones (Straw, Blam!, Liferea) - while nice programs they usually lacked something or were overencumbered with features. Also, desktop aggregators can't solve the problem of keeping read feeds in sync between different machines.
I tried server-side aggregators, several ones. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything that felt usable, they had all the problems of classical web applications - clunky interface, no realtime updates, just not designed the way I like it, etc.
Well, then the obvious solution was to write an aggregator myself. I also felt the need to exercise in simple XmlHttpRequest web application programming, so TT-RSS was born. While obviously being on early stages on development and pretty much unfinished it offers a lot of functionality of desktop application while staying on server-side with all the benefits it provides.
Requirements:
Magpie RSS feed parser;
PostgreSQL or MySQL (InnoDB and version 4.1+ required);
What's New in This Release:
