Background and Vision

This is a Windows forms app that probably represents probably 1% of my overall vision... A central application that amalgamates disparate sources of data of the users choosing, providing a centralised view/model that can be manipulated (graphically).

However the solution currently is a basic Rss reader, that I use to keep up to date with blogs that I follow.

It is multithreaded: threads spin up for each blog, that check and download latest content. Also the logic to check and download content doesn't run on the UI thread, thereby keeping the front end responsive.

I think eventually, this will be a Windows store app.
