- Name
- Starting to go beyond just outlines.
- Just AmphetaDesk, leave template-land and start hacking core code?
- UI
- Even more lightweight HTML
- Hidden iframe / frame in which to perform web actions without a full page refresh?
- Just use a pop-up? Or replace pop-ups?
- Pagination of channels, to cut down on HTML loaded all at once
- Slows down visual scan in one page via page-down
- May speed up overall scan by making each page quicker to load?
- Do something DHTMLish to dynamically load item content into page?
- Blog posting page
- Based on CPAN:Net::Blogger
- Subscription categorization / grouping
- Store category / groups in channel metadata
- Shopping cart
- Queue up URLs to visit after one has finished skimming the aggregator page
- Personal History
- Record & track items visited / clicked in aggregator
- Archival
- Store up and index all items ever seen in RSS feeds, even once unsubscribed.
- Requires a flexible, generalized persistence layer (vs simple XML files)
- Temporary / expiring subscriptions
- ie. For comment feeds
- Set to unsubscribe given X days of inactivity.
- Permanent, lightweight, rarely checked subscriptions
- What if someone discovers a post 1 year later and comments? I'd like to be notified.
- Delete stored data for channel, very rarely check channel?
- Event feed from intrusion detection system?
- Annual event of short duration with a news site? (ie. Burning Man, Renaissance Festivals)
- Barely ever should change, but high priority when it does
- What if someone discovers a post 1 year later and comments? I'd like to be notified.
- Vary channel polling frequency
- Observe when channel changes, come up with a fitting polling frequency
- Double time between polls if a given poll comes up unchanged?
- Doubling too much - ie. Yearly updated feed gets updated after 1 year, 1 day
- Polling frequency will tend to decrease with unchanging channels (ie. old comment feeds)
- Honor RSS extension module tags that specify update times
- Enhanced bookmarklet for autodetected subscription
- Specify expiry period & category
- Multiple sources of positive & negative channel/item feedback
- Clicks on item titles
- Detect & count clicks on links encoded in item description
- Tree expansion, item manually made visible
- Manual karma / rating
- Machine learning & assistance
- Bayesian filtering of interesing items to highlight?
- Crawl blog neighborhood to find likely new interesting subscriptions?
- Preferences
- Channel set to be fully expanded or collapsed by default
- Give priority to channel regardless of metrics
- Simple GUI Features
- Category Folders, for grouping of related feeds
- possibility of changing the settings for the aging of feeds (e.g. how many hours must have passed so that an item is "old")
- allow for manual changing of aging (checkbox to go ahead and get rid of item, perhaps?)
