I've been looking for an open source application that stores feeds in a database for a few days, finally found the pot of gold! I encountered a small bug when browsing in IE7 which I'll report shortly when I've got the details to hand, but generally it looks good. Have you considered expanding the scope a little to meet the needs of webmasters who want to incorporate feeds in their site. I think theres a large potential market there. Ideas I envisage a very similiar look and feel but with the output publicly available and embedded into a website/cms perhaps through some templating engine. Also hoping to add some basic article voting/rating functionality. Finally to add the icing on the cake, tweak the html so it opens up the article in a frame, with the original website as a small menu frame above or to the left of the article. (In a similiar way to http://silktide.com website ratings, or http://torrents.to) I'll probably attempt to build this over the weekend. Wish me luck, I'll probably end up asking you a ton of questions about your code at some point anyway. Good luck with your journey to 0.5! Very cool application.

In the sidebar.php there is a line at the top: header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8"); which apparently is already set by another file so I would get an error on the sidebar. I commented out that line in sidebar.php and it worked fine. I've been using feed-on-feeds ever since it started going by that name, and one of the "improvements" I have made was to have the articles open in a separate window or tab instead of replacing the feed-on-feeds window using a target="blank" tag. I don't know if others would find that useful, but I apply this patch every time I upgrade. I like the new code, it's easier to go through. Glad there has been some work done on it.

For now I will probably stick with monkeychow for my RSS feeds. Nice to see the project finally had a release. For now I will probably stick with monkeychow for my RSS feeds.
