feedgrid: an RSS aggregator with a 2D grid UI

Hi all, sharing a Django project to please your inner news junky, hope you enjoy!

What

feedgrid.io is a web-based news aggregator for RSS/atom feeds, as well as some other sites like arXiv.

It lets you:

  • organize and group multiple feeds into topics (ie merge RSS feeds)

  • display new content in a grid that organizes items chronologically in 2 dimensions (with ordering in both rows and columns)

  • star items of interest for future reference

Why

The goal is to organize diverse feeds into categories (grids) you like, and then easily check for new content in those grids with a bird’s eye view.

Most RSS clients have either infinite-scroll or email inbox UIs. Those work, but IMO don’t hit the sweet spot for topic-based browsing, and this UI is a handy middle ground.

Example - editing and browsing a grid dashboard
