minimal rss reader

If you really liked Google Reader you will not like my RSS reading thing, rtwt, at all.

• strips images
• lumps all feeds together
• only controls are three mystery buttons
• puts author's name at the end, not at the top
• you have to ssh in to the server to add a feed since there's no form for it.

On the plus side, it does use Mozilla Persona, so no annoying password wrangling or online service lock-in.

And it generates a feed of its own, plus a reasonably up to date blogroll.

Developed using the "write random crap until it basically works and then mostly leave it alone" methodology. I don't have the code up anywhere but it's there if anybody wants it.
