Introduction

"start" started out as a simple, hand-crafted feed aggregator, just for personal use, based on an XML parser I found on the web. Only I knew how it worked, and there was a lot of manual labor to go through to add a feed.

Nowadays it’s based on WordPress with a bunch of clever plugins.

Plugin usage

Start uses the latest WordPress + SimplePie Core + SimplePie Plugin for WordPress + exec-php + wp-o-matic, a custom WordPress template and some of my own programming.

Demo

A demo can be found at http://start.geek.nl/ which is my personal start page.

Future

I have had many ideas about how to implement user-created and -managed pages. This is one of my biggest wishes. So far, all solutions I came up with are quite hard to implement. Suggestions are welcome.
