Zort
Zort is a Web-based RSS aggregator based on MagpieRSS. It features a clean, minimal interface, some nice CSS/Javascript to hide feeds/categories you don't want to look at, and all the usual caching, etc., you'd expect from a MagpieRSS-based app. By default, all feeds are returned on a single page. It does not feature a database backend, support for multiple users, a set of administrative screens, an authentication system of any kind, or flagging of RSS items as read/saved/etc., nor is it likely to include those things in the future. It was written in a very minimalistic frame of mind, and such features are on an explicit "do not support" list.

Recent commentsUpgrade to 1.0.2, not 1.0.1, if you would.
I realized after releasing 1.0.1 that, given the way 1.0.1 was packaged, it'd be pretty easy for a user to accidentally overwrite their main config file with the example one provided, which Isn't Very Nice. 1.0.2's been released in the meantime, so I'd recommend grabbing that one instead. I sent through a new release via Freshmeat, but that'll take a little while to show up, and I'm not sure if they'll like having a second release on the frontpage so soon, anyway. So yeah: 1.0.2 is the way to go.
