is an RSS aggregator and (eventually) reader. Right now it just aggregates, and it doesn't do that well.
The intent is to build a Django-based system that will regularly pull in the content from RSS feeds, update the database with the new items, and then display either only unseen items or all items, depending on what the user selects. I'm using Django because it's what I use at work, and I like getting practice outside the work environment.
is from nuclear physicist Robert Bussard. Bussard came up with a theoretical fusion drive, a Bussard ramjet, that could travel through interstellar space by collecting ionized hydrogen from the interstellar gas, fusing it in a reactor, and then using the reactor's exhaust to propel the ship. Star Trek later adopted part of this; the spinning domes (later red lights) at the front of the starships' warp nacelles are Bussard ramscoops, which collect the interstellar hydrogen and feed it to the engines.
Since this project performs a similar function, only with information instead of atoms and reading RSS feeds instead of traveling through space, I thought it was appropriate.
is pretty easy; please see CONTRIBUTING.md for details.
is likewise simple.
