Motivation

I'm fed up of online services that are here today and gone tomorrow. After the Google Reader shutdown is clear to me that the less we rely on external services the more the data we care about are preserved. With this in mind I'm writing Coldsweat. It will be my personal take at consuming feeds today.

Features

  • Web interface to read and add feeds
  • Compatible with existing Fever desktop and mobile clients
  • Multi-user support
  • Support for grouping of similar items
  • Multiprocessing for parallel feed fetching

Setup

See setup page.

Upgrading from previous versions

Coldsweat 0.9.1 works with newer versions of Requests, WebOb and Peewee packages. To update run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Technical underpinnings

  • Uses the industry standard Mark Pilgrim's Universal Feed Parser
  • Is WSGI compatible - currently tested under CGI, FastCGI and Passenger environments
  • Uses SQLite, PostgreSQL and MySQL databases
  • Coldsweat web reader has been tested with Safari 5 and latest versions of Chrome and Firefox

Coldsweat started in July 2013 as a fork of Bottle Fever by Rui Carmo. By now I revised most of the code and tested the feed fetcher code with hundreds of Atom and RSS feeds.

For more information about the Coldsweat feed fetcher see the fetcher features page.
