Furby - A rawdog clone(feed aggregator) with template support

Hi.

I was trying to use Rawdog, but wished for something simpler and prettier. Also I was learning Ruby, so decided to write a feed aggregator. So, furby is a feed aggregator which spits out a single customizable html file.

It supports templating via ERB templates, also includes a theme based on Bootstrap, you can see a demo here: http://p.cogunluklazararsiz.org/furby/ .

It depends on only Ruby currently:

$ ./furby.rb
Usage: furby.rb [-c N] [-d N] [-t N] feeds template output
    -c, --count N                    Maximum article count
    -t, --threads N                  Maximum parallel requests when fetching feeds [3]
    -d, --days N                     Don't show articles older than N days

Try it:

git clone https://github.com/utdemir/furby.git
cd furby
bundle install # gem install bundler if you don't have it
./furby.rb feeds template.erb output.html
xdg-open output.html
