Browse 188+ Feeds The Grazr Way

I used Grazr to build the following nifty little widget to display a “live” list of all the blogs and news sources that are aggregated by OraNA.

In addition to its really cool AJAX look and feel, this Grazr OPML viewer/reader has some nice features like:

  • Different viewing options: three pane view, a slider view and a single pane view.
  • Option to open the viewer in a new window.
  • Keyboard controls to let you move around from one level to another.
  • A sharing feature that lets you easily customize your own display and modify the code snippet for placement in many blogging platforms.

But the feature that is also very interesting is the ability to automatically include and view comment feeds for each post (if supported by the blogging software). For example, to see this feature in action, click on “David Aldridge” in the list, then click on the comment feed at the and of each post to read the comments (if they exist of course).

Oh! The wonders of Javascript!
