Here’s a nice url to look at.
It returns an OPML file that you can open in Drummer.
https://drummer.land/?url=http://lists.feedcorps.org/
Each of the headlines in the outline is an include node, which means when you expand it, it gets the contents of the outline at the address in its url attribute, and inserts it below (subordinate to) the headline.
Each of the headlines in each of the outlines is a link to a feed that’s part of that subscription list.
https://lists.feedcorps.org/nyt.opml
FeedLand will have a command that loads the top level outline, and gives you a set of choices for our collection of reading lists. It will use the list-of-reading-lists viewer I wrote yesterday. Lots of partially finished pieces here, but you should be able to see how they begin to fit together.
The interface for people who create reading lists is GitHub.
First notes
1. I have a little more work to do on it, it must read the OPML files and cache information from them, like when the file was created, grab a description, and we may want to define some other head elements. We at least need a created element for each so the OPML works properly.
2. I have a few more hours of work to do on this.
3. I wanted to create it outside of FeedLand at least at first to make it easier to experiment with.
4. This is the piece I didn’t have enough control to do in config.json files in PagePark.
5. I published the code, which needs a bit of a cleanup.
Later notes
1. We’re now caching copies of all the outlines on the lists.feedcorps.org server, this makes it possible to include info from the lists in the master list, like the number of URLs in the list, needed for the readinglists page in FeedLand.
2. I believe I’m done with this app now, it’s deployed, seems to be running fine.
3. Did a code cleanup.
