Introducing vine
It’s been a while since I’ve done any major upgrade to one of my biggest projects, feedProcess. Which is why I’m happy to announce a brand new, standalone feature to feedProcess called vine.
vine is an all in one RSS haven, here you can find all your informational needs. The start page lists the more popular feeds, ones that most people read on a daily basis. To get deeper all you have to do is choose your specific topic from the drop down menu. Each topic has its own sub category that nails down on exactly what you want.
The project is currently in beta, though it is mostly finished I want to take this first week of launch to nail out any final bugs. So if you find any bugs, please let me know by emailing me at feedprocess [at] gmail [dot] com or commenting on this post.
So what are you waiting for? Visit vine now.

Hi there, first of all congrats for your feedprocess reader. looks great and have many possibilities. I would like to report a little bug on your javascript code:
this.initialize has no properties
[Break on this error] this.initialize.apply(this, arguments);
prototype.js (line 23)
element has no properties
[Break on this error] from: (element.getStyle(’display’) == ‘none’ ? 0.0 : element.getOpacity() || 0…
- even though the applications shows the results successfully, I highly recommend you to check whether the element is OK before further processing to third party libraries.
Also, the embeded video players do show at first and then dissapear when I move my mouse over them. I am watching it on a MAC with Firefox latest version.
- One suggestion: Imagine a user could actually say what information would like to retrieve from its feed. I have seen (http://eduforge.org/projects/feed2js/) and it could be a very nice feature for registered users on your project.
Regards

Hi Antonio,
FeedProcess itself will be re-written under jQuery in time. Currently it is based off of Scriptaculous (older version), which still needs tweaking. But thanks for the warning.
As for the video disappearing, I will have a look at it. I think it might have something to do with the rollover effects from the CSS on the news articles. I got some flickering, but the video didn’t disappear for me.
Thanks.
