Hi all, www.arjengosman.nl/rss a project for my study. It’s not totally finished yet, but after a lot of blood sweat and tears I’m at the point now that I really would like some user input. So please have a look, try everything and then let me know what you think of it. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. p.s. at the moment it’s running on a webserver installed on an old pc. hopefully it keeps running while I sleep… 🙂 ---

Can’t wait to see it when its fully functonable. ---

Really? That’s strange 'cause I didn’t encounter that problem before. I’ll see if I can find the problem. One thing I noticed in the database was that [www.kirupa.com](http://www.kirupa.com) was added but this is not a valid url for an RSS feed so that might be the problem. It shouldn’t die on it though. @bombingpixels: when exactly did it die? Also when trying to add a feed? leaves me to say: “calling all Kirupians to have a look and a testdrive and let me know if you encounter problems, would do things differently etc.” Big thanks. ---

no problems here; though i haven’t tried to log & stuff… what are the percentages bars for ? and how did you customize the right-click flash menu ? is it something specific of mx2004 ? I’m really puzzled… good site ! ---

I read something about customizing the flash menu, its in the flashmx04 documentation… It is awesome I think… not fond of the bevel on the entire layout, but I love the drop down on the left side… No rollovers on the main nav? Call me old fashioned but I expected them haha …nice work… ---

Thanks people. No further comments about the functionality? 'cause that’s my main concern ATM, not so much the design. One thing that is made clear though is that I need some validation before a feed is added to check if it’s a valid RSS feed or not. 🙂 Any more comments are welcome. Cheers. [edit] @mlk: those percentages are what I’ve called the ‘quality’ of a feed. It is calculated with it’s rating, and the number of hits the feed received compared to the total amount of hits of all feeds contained within the reader. [/edit] ---
