several RSS feeds

Post by ThunderRoad »

Hi rainmeter community!

First of all, i'm a newbie so sorry if my question is dumb, but i'll be quick ^^

I'd like to know if it's possible to add several url feeds to a single panel. For example, in FeedLeftPanel.ini add URL = BlogFeed1 && BlogFeed2, etc. :???: :???: :???:

No, Google Reader is closing down in a month or two.

I don't think so. I don't know of any of the current feed aggregation tools that support an RSS feed of themselves like Google Reader did.

there is this: http://www.rssmix.com/
while you can not create new merged feeds with an api, it should be fine for personal use for most people.

Yes, that has some promise indeed... You can't really distribute a skin using it easily, (the user would need to go set up a feed "mix" themselves, or just use the feeds defined by the author) but as you say, for personal use it might be pretty handy.
