Bloggers4Labour

This is the source code for the feed aggregator that powered the Bloggers4Labour web site from 2005-2010 (ish)

We had some good times...

Building

mvn

Running

Don't expect this to run anywhere. It probably can be made to with tweaks to the config, but it's not really worth trying now. It's purely of historical interest.

Notes

Code quality-wise, it's not great - or at least it doesn't look great with 10+ years hindsight. But it worked pretty well for a side-project with just one developer, running on a single dedicated server with 1 GB of RAM. At least there wasn't anything obviously better (technically) at the time.

Many of the scalability problems were solved with the Poblish project that followed, where we scaled from ~ 500 feeds to ~ 5000 with much better responsiveness and resilience. But that source code will have to wait for another day.
