SimplePie + Magpie = NeoPie
I have recently started to build a site that uses MagpieRss, then I switched to SimplePie because it seemed to fetch Atom better, although I actually like elements of both a lot. Much to my surprise when I tried to look at the SimplePie functions documentation today I was met by not the information I wanted but this statement:
What do you get when you take the two best PHP-based feed parsers and merge them together? Introducing NeoPie. We’re in the process of merging our teams, our code, and our websites. This website will soon be shutdown, and content will be merged into magpiephp.com. Please follow that website for all future development.
Unfortunately it does not look like I can read up on the SimplePie functions and the MagpiePHP page helpfully is just displaying “coming soon…”. I guess I will have to wait until “soon”.
Dammit, I got played: “Hope you all enjoyed the April Fool’s joke! SimplePie is back to normal! :)”
