Rippy the Aggregator
Rippy the Aggregator is a lightweight RSS aggregator written in vanilla PHP. It downloads headlines from a configurable list of regularly-updated Web sites, and merges the items into a single list of all the latest news. Rippy could be used to keep track of several favourite sites, or as an automatic supply of filler material on a public Web site. It uses local files to store its persistent information, requiring no database and no non-default PHP library support.
