Check out my FreeRSS web-based portal I made a while back. Inspired by the defunct iGoogle.

Unfortunately, it needs to be revamped or recreated from scratch because I can no longer recompile it due to the changes in SvelteJS.

Check out FreeRSS, it's an iGoogle clone, just Add Widget, paste in the url of the website, and it auto-detects any RSS feeds in the site.

"I am writing this by hand from a federal prison.

It is a surreal experience, to say the least. When I arrived, I was stripped naked. They took my clothes, and then gave me what amounted to rags: an old brown, oversized t-shirt, loose torn brown pants, "cloth tubes" that don't fit you feet but are meant to be socks, and some flat, poorly fitting shoes. I was then directed to a bunk bed in a room with 6 others and given a blanket. I would have to wait until after the weekend to get my "uniform" and a pillow, and to buy necessities from the commissary..."

Love your project and enjoyed reading your extended README file. Perl and retrocomputing gives me a warm feeling inside.

Confession: I write in C because it's fun and feels like you can do anything in it. Agree it's probably not the most practical or commercial-friendly solution. I like C!

Thanks for this. Saw the bug you logged on github too. Agree that poll() should be used instead to avoid the FD_SETSIZE limitation. Maybe in the future when littlekitten webserver grows to be a big cat...

Thanks, much of the asserts were scaffolding while I was programming the helper functions. They function similar to comments, reminding me of the internal conditions that should always be valid.

This site has a good tutorial for this. It recommends vultr (which is what I use), for $2.50 - $5 a month.

Back then I loved UltraEdit. It was the fastest editor at the time and could open even the most humongous files.

Since then, I've used notepad2 for quick editing. And even for coding. Really loved notepad2. It could only edit one file at a time but that was part of its charm. I would have multiple notepad2 files open while coding.

Back in the DOS days I used Brief, Multi-Edit (syntax highlighting!!) and the Borland SideKick TSR notepad, remember that?

Nowadays on Linux, I code and write everything on Vim. Can't live without it. Cured my carpal tunnel too because I don't have to move my fingers to use the arrow keys or mouse.

Big fan of RSS. Feel free to try out my RSS reader tool: http://freerss.robdelacruz.com/

Drag/drop rearrange rss feeds in an album-like layout. Open source too.

Agree 100% RSS was one of the best things in the open web. I use it everyday to browse through headlines on my favorite sites.

Here's what I use to view my RSS feeds: http://freerss.robdelacruz.com/ you can use it to drag/drop and rearrange your feeds into an album like layout.

You're right, there's no validation on the server. Need to fix those.

As quick fix to get the site up and running again, I just trimmed off any overly long title or cat beyond a certain limit of chars.

(OP here) Hi guys, thanks for checking out newsboard.

Source code is here https://github.com/robdelacruz/newsboard

I will look into fixing the security bugs to get the site back up and running. Feel free to check out the code.

If you have time to waste, check out my "unix fortune2" web page to get your unix fortunes. It's a clone of 'unix fortune':

OP here. Right, that's the source:

I used plain css from scratch to keep it small. I tried to copy the HackerNews look, but using Flex instead of Tables.

Thanks for the bug reports. Much appreciated. Will take a look at these one by one. Hopefully to get the site back up and running.
