SimplePie + iUI = Pie.ui

A Feedr is powered by the combination of several really great open source projects. The RSS parsing is handled by the robust and beautifully easy-to-use SimplePie. The iPhone-like javascript comes from iUI, which was developed by Joe Hewitt. This is all delivered in a site powered by Wordpress MU. Since Phone Feedr owes so much to open source projects, it seems only right that we offer our humble contributions for you to use and improve. Our hybrid of SimplePie + iUI is called Pie.ui and you can view a demo here using Yahoo’s rss feed. If you like what you see, download Pie.ui below.

To use iUI, upload the folder to your website keeping the directory structure as it is setup in this bundle. Open up “index.php” and replace the url in line 9 with the address of your rss feed. That’s it! Obviously you can customize this file further as needed. Please send us feedback if you find bugs, or have suggestions for improvement.
