Hep gets noticed
James Strachan wanted to read RSS feeds in his mail client:
To read RSS feeds I’d far prefer to just use a single UI, that I already use much of the day already, an email client.
So what I’d like is an RSS to email gateway such that there is 1 email per post on each blog, coming from a spoofed email address named after the name of the blog.
After "much googling", he found Hep… and he likes it!
James’ writing about Hep has in turn inspired Steven Noel and Sam Ruby to mention Hep in their blogs, and a lot of new visitors today.
It’s cool to see all these people noticing Hep, and trying it out. And most people who have written about it seem to like it. Although I tend to think that for every person who writes about Hep in their weblog, or sends me an e-mail saying that they’re using it, there are 5 who downloaded it, glanced at the README, and thought "python… twisted… INI files… I’ll wait ’till version 1.0 comes out and there’s a nice installer." Which, if you’re not a developer, is not a bad idea :-)
