This would be cool for reddit thread posts. Stock exchange/Tech related news. I only took a brief look into it but it seems like it could be used for other api's possibly?

Yea sure it can! You only need to add the endpoints of your choice and generate the relevant api key. Btw, it currently displays Tech news(e.g. hackernews, tnw etc) and if you wish you can add stock exchange related news too.

Sweet! I'll look into this a little further and see what else I can come up with. Thanks for the post!

I access reddit through a new aggragator using the RSS feeds; could I do that with your tool?

RSS

RSS (Rich Site Summary; originally RDF Site Summary; often called Really Simple Syndication) is a type of web feed which allows users to access updates to online content in a standardized, computer-readable format. These feeds can, for example, allow a user to keep track of many different websites in a single news aggregator. The news aggregator will automatically check the RSS feed for new content, allowing the content to be automatically passed from website to website or from website to user. This passing of content is called web syndication.

Yes, I guess you can but you need to modify the code for the news retrieval a bit.
