Basic design

What I had in mind originally was a NetNewsWire type program that would follow me around, even when I was away from my Mac. So, a web based aggregator was the “simple” solution. The hard part was trying to figure out what options to make similar, and what to leave out. I could have done unread counts for each site for each user, but this would have increased the complexity a ton — at least it would have increased the database size a ton. Therefore, I’ve left it out so far. I think the cycle idea is nearly as effective. If you haven’t read anything for 6 hours, well, there you go. Read the last 6 cycles worth of info. Filter it by category, or just select the sites you want and everything will be filtered that way.

Also, the next steps will be notebooks, personal article comments, and direct entry creation for the different CMS solutions.

Of couse, I will always be open to suggestions.
