[icancodez] RSS Remixer!
I've mentioned it briefly, but now it's really rather usable by humans, so... Check it out: RSS Remixer! It's for remixing RSS feeds.

That is to say: suppose I have personal accounts set up in a bunch of different places (for example, my reading and rocking habits), but I've got a great network of friends looking primarily to my blog (i.e. here.) I want to share that info, but I don't want to blindly link dump it (with a high signal-to-noise). Rather, I want to pick and choose and customize what I repost to fit my audience.

I've been using it myself for just this purpose, but I just added enough reasonable UI bits that I don't mind sharing it around. So check it out! (There's even drag-and-drop stuff going on. JQuery++.)

The source is here. I used Ruby (with the Sinatra miniframework.) It's not the most ENTERPISE code I ever did, but I managed to just get it out there on my own. I'm sure there's bugs / room for improvement, and I'd like to hear about it! But I'd also like to hear what works about it as is.

Anyway, I scratched my own itch with code, and had fun doing it. Good start to the week!
