This is a general problem, and deserves a general solution.

Other instances of the problem:

  • You just discovered http://xkcd.com/, and there are nearly 900 of them. How can you push through them at a reasonable rate?
  • You just discovered http://partiallyclips.com/, and you can't even tell how many there are. What next?
  • etc.

We need:
A site that accepts a feed (RSS, Atom) and a release rate, and generates you a feed starting at the start of the old feed and releasing entries on your schedule.

http://rssreplay.heroku.com/ should do what you need.

That looks like exactly what I need - thanks… only…

http://rssreplay.heroku.com/create → "Internal Server Error"
(and I'd love to work out what's going wrong so I can fix it, so)…
SOURCE CODE → 404 this is not the web page you are looking for

http://rssreplay.heroku.com/create → "Internal Server Error"

If you get the date format exactly right (a variant of plain English) it seems to work.

I've been meaning to build such a service for a while, and thinking that rssreplay was down actually pushed me over the edge. If you're interested in testdriving it, let me know.

I'm interested.

feedpacer.appspot.com

you're user #1 :) It don't look pretty (yet), but it works as far as I've tested it.

It works! It works beautifully!
