Django powered chicha planet with feedjack

Tuesday, December 13th, 2005

Update: Feedjack has been released!

Some nights ago I wrote a little Planet replacement in Django called FeedJack. There is still no source code available but I’ll release it as open source as soon as I polish it a little and write docs (if a software has no docs, it doesn’t exist).

You can see it in action in ChichaPlanet, probably one of the first “planets” after Planet Gnome and Planet Debian. It has some features in common with PlanetPlanet:

  • It downloads feeds and aggregate their contents in a single site
  • The new aggregated site has a feed of its own
  • It uses Mark Pilgrim’s excelent FeedParser

But FeedJack also has some advantages:

  • It handles historical data, you can read old posts
  • It parses a lot more info than PlanetPlanet, including post categories
  • It generates pages with posts of a certain category
  • A cloud tag/folksonomy (hype 2.0 compliant)
  • It uses Django templates

(more…)
