notifixlite is a simple RSS to IM (Jabber, XMPP, Gtalk) bot.

Just add notifixlite@appspot.com to your contact on gtalk (using any XMPP client). and get started by saying /help.

We graciously run an instance that anyone can use at notifixlite, and it sometimes runs out of credits. You can easily avoid this by running this under your very own Google App Account. To do so :

1. Signup or log in to Google App Engine
2. Create a new application, name it in a non-guessable way if you want to be the only one using it :)
3. Checkout the code : git clone git://github.com/superfeedr/notifixlight.git
4. Update your application name’s in app.yaml, line 1 (replace notifixlite) with whatever you chose at step 2.
5. Open a superfeedr subscriber account.
6. Update main.py and add your superfeedr credentials at line 16 and 17; and change the call back on line 24 with your application’s URL."
7. Deploy your instance of Notifixlite
8. Enjoy!

ps. Earn extra points, modify template/index.html so the instructions match your application’s name.
