Planetoid, a lightweight planet

I’ve released today planetoid, a really simple and lightweight planet (feed aggregator) for small communities online.

planetoid will let you create users and feeds from their blogs, which will be parsed automatically and shown on the front page. You can set up a cron job to do this task automatically. planetoid is intentionally simple: I didn’t want to create another multi-user blog engine, I just wanted to put together some blogs and show basic info about the authors, so you won’t find here thinks like user registration or posts publication. You just provide info about the authors and their feeds, that’s all.

planetoid is inspired by Aintablog, which is a great piece of software but didn’t give me what I was exactly needed at the moment.

Code is available through my github repository. Please keep in mind that this is an initial draft, fully working, but on a very initial state (I started writing it yesterday), so use it at your own risk

Feedback will be greatly appreciated so please try it and comment what you like / dislike about it!
