Web GDE Deck 💯

=========================

Inspired by River of news, but HTTPs only and a PWA.

Attempt to create a PWA that is a news reader that renders on the server and on the client using all the same templating and logic. 

Progress

--------

* Client logic in SW is now shared with the Server logic [done]

* Templating is done via streaming templates [done]

* Use WhatWG streams in node. [done]

* Need to clean up a lot. [errrr.....]

* Configuration file should really be an OPML file. [todo]

* Cache fetched data on the client and server [done]

* To render the client it still needs JS turned on. Investigate server 

  load of RSS feeds. [partially done]

  * This is done in the SW, will use on Server soon.

Thoughts

--------

If possible the server logic and the client logic should be near exactly the same.

Ideally configured via a OPML file that defines the columns, that links to other OPML files that contain the feeds that should be aggregrated in this.

Thoughts: 

* The UI should render the structure without JS. Ideally after this has been

  rendered, I can stream in the first batch of aggreagated and merged feeds.  

* The UI should then take over and update the feeds in the client as much as 

  possible.

* On reload, the server should not be hit at all, save for any updates to the

  OPML file. In an ideal world, the SW would be doing the work.

  

  

Technical hitches:

  We are going to have to proxy the RSS feed requests.
