so, a friend of a friend wanted a way to aggregate their posts from various sources onto their Neocities site, with no Javascript. as it turns out, there are no good services with which to do this, and little in the way of open source projects. parsing RSS/Atom isn't hard, so I threw together a PHP script that aggregates some N feeds, caches them, interleaves them, and renders them. it even lets you filter them!
it's pretty minimal overall and a large portion of the file is just the config section at the top. a running example is up on my website, with some styling to pretty it up.
I'll be hosting an install of it for said friend of a friend until they get a VPS or something, but, like a lot of the other stuff I make, this thing is in the public domain. it, and the style in-use on my homepage, are available on my cgit.
If you're looking for a similarly minimal guestbook script, I wrote one called visitors_dot_php a bit ago. I think I forgot to mention it here lol.
I'm gonna make a more proper update post sometime this month, but I figured I'd post something about this.
I've been ~aleteoryx, g'night.
