I wrote a single-user nodejs based replacement: http://callanbryant.co.uk/megafilter/ which I have open sourced on github. It can understand the exported feeds and starred items from Google Reader, and I use it to (re)publish articles that I find interesting on my website here: http://callanbryant.co.uk/#Recommended<p>You can host it yourself, so no more dependence on 'the cloud'!
Megafilter does oook nice. However, I have at least two problems with this software:<p>1) According to the installation instructions root access (sudo) is need because it will be installed in a directory that is writable by root only. If megafilter is truly meant as a single-user app it should let me install it in any directory of my liking.<p>2) Megafilter listens on 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost, and so is accessible to anyone on the Internet who happens to guess its port (yes, I know I can require a password, but still…).<p>A settings file would be nice.<p>If megafilter is interupted by a system reboot or a ^C, does it save a state file from which it can resume? Or does it start from scratch next time I start the app?<p>Cheers.<p>PS: Concerns are posted as issues on github.
