Neko is a personal feed reader that displays a "river of news."

It is intended for a single user. Put in your feeds, and it will track what you have read.

It also includes a "public" view of all items for you to share what you're reading with others.

It's a little rough around the edges and tough to install right now, but I've been using it for almost a year and wanted to share.

The cat ears are in your mind.

Mongodb.

Clone the neko repo

> git clone [email protected]:adammathes/neko.git

Install python dependencies.

> pip install -r requirements.txt

Import your OPML. (optional)

> ./neko.py import feeds.opml

Run the crawler

> ./neko.py update

Run the web interface

> ./webneko.py

View it in a browser at http://127.0.0.1:9899

Clone the neko nepo.

> git clone [email protected]:adammathes/neko.git

Create a new herou app.

> heroku apps:create neko[somethingsomething]

Set up addons.

> heroku addons:add mongolab:starter
> heroku addons:add scheduler:standard

Check in your feed import to feeds.opml if you'd like.

Push it up.

> git push heroku master

Import your feeds.

> heroku run python neko.py import feeds.opml

Run the crawler

> heroku run python neko.py update

If you want, add that to your scheduler to autoupdate your feeds. (May cost $)

This is a total hack and will be improved.

Add a file called "auth" with a single line of username:password

Visit /login/ to sign in and /logout/ to sign out. (I know, I know.)

For Heroku, set environment vars.

> heroku config:set NEKO_USERNAME=user12345
> heroku config:set NEKO_PASSWORD=pass323423414
