Timezone Support for Digest Output

When you edit digests or create new digests there is now a simple “Timezone” field that lets you enter an hour offset (such as -5 for EST, 1 for CET, etc..) so that times output by %HOUR% %TIME24%, etc, and other Feed Digest tags, will show the time adjusted by a certain number of hours. […]

Public OPML outlines available for each digest

Several users have recently demanded the availability of publicly accessible OPML outlines of their digests’ sources for a while now. While OPML has been available in Feed Digest for months, it’s been accessible to logged in users only. Now it’s available to access from anywhere. The URLs aren’t guessable, so as long as you keep […]

We make the net “super awesome”

The upcoming new template system!

In my work with Feed Digest, one of the constant limitations is the template system. I want users to have as much control as possible over their digests, and while the existing template system hasn’t been bad, it’s far from ideal. Currently users can give an optional header and footer template and a ‘per item’ […]
