OP here, the motivation for Feedhero is to allow users to view many different sources of content in one tab. I was tired of opening several tabs every morning to check out Hacker News, Gmail, Hotmail, Facebook, Instagram, and other sites.<p>Originally scheduled to be completed in 3 month, Feedhero took over a year to develop as a side project. Most of the time was spent integrating OAuth and repeatedly overhauling the UI. It is powered by Backbone, Rivets, Node, Memcache, and Mongo. All social media and email accounts are connected via OAuth.<p>I learned quite a bit during this process. If I were to do it over again, I would probably use a JS framework with native framework data binding and inline event handler declaration. Also, looking forward to Mongo 3.0 to be released for row level locking.<p>Mobile apps are coming soon using the same user accounts. I'm looking forward to writing in Swift. Feedhero would not have been possible if not for all the wonderful open source packages out there. Thanks for reading and any feedback is welcome.
