Jesse Lawrence is also looking to implement his own aggregator:
I’ve been searching high and low for an RSS reader that I’m happy with and that works on Linux, but so far I’ve been unsuccessful. So, last night I started coding my own. It’s going to be more of a personal communication system, though, not just an RSS reader.
