Synoptico

Synoptico is a small desktop application that can aggregate multiple websites. The goal of the project is mainly to get familiar with Elm, Electron and Bacon.js, how they can be used together and to learn more about functional programming techniques in general. Feedback is very welcome.

Usage

1. Create a json file describing the URLs to aggregate. The releases reference a sample.json file with the required format.

2. Open the file via the Open File... menu entry or just drag it onto the app window.
