Last night I released new versions of feedland and feedlanddatabase with the implementation of reading lists. This morning I wrote the instructions for upgrading, and changed the setup instructions so it sets up the new version.
All of this has been very sparsely tested, and only by me, and esp with the upgrade instructions, by no one at all. So this is a high priority. 😉
I’m seeing some obvious huge holes in the user interface. For example.
- I want to see a list of all the feeds from one reading list, in a Feed List view, so I can look at the first five posts, and click to get to the Feed Info page. I just added the newspack list and I wanted to see all of them in one place, but there’s no way to do it.
- Similarly I want to see all the news from this list, without having to do it with categories. The information is available in the database, I think it’s a pretty simple query, but it doesn’t exist yet.
- The NewsPack list is amazing. Just want to pause for a moment, this is the first time I’ve seen it in action.
- Let’s use lists.feedcorps.org to serve our reading lists? I’d like the lists to come with docs, so when we present them, they’re like a landing page for a podcast. The OPML is of course the central most important component, but we can and should provide a friendly way of choosing them. This could even be integrated with FeedLand so you can see which ones you’re already subscribed to.
