Update number 2: just fired up my hand built ide and created a new repository in my custom proprietary version control system. Just need to plug in my secret scratch built framework and we're off to the races

Update number 3: I've created a public Trello board for this that I will forget to update as I go along: https://trello.com/board/feed-reader/51c5fad79e7f42107800215d
Update #5: grabbed a small php class to pull and parse RSS, seems to be working fine, will pull 3-4 different urls / types to make sure everything is working.
Also got beer
edit: The "Summertime" version of woodchuck is delicious as fuck.

lastRSS by chance? That's what I grabbed at least.
I'm almost done here. Hang tight.

Nope, didn't see that one. used RSS PHP - RSS Parser and XML Parser for PHP 5+
Ghetto as fuck but works great, just added favicon support and saving them to the DB in base64.
I have a strange feeling you're going to kick all of our asses, and make us look like idiots.
Mine was rolling along fine until heroku decided to shit the bed and not let me login. This is my first project with AngularJS, and while it's very simple, I'm incredibly impressed by it. I'm going to take a break for a few hours but will get back to it later.
Update: I'm in the process of using a bunch of 3rd party shit I have no control over and can't modify / evolve, with hopes none of it goes down, and should be done soon.
Update #6: getting tired and drunk, Category creation and RSS subscription is working, system will not allow multible RSS feeds to be created, just subscribes users to that feed ID if it already exists. Working on cron job function right now that pulls all subscription URL's go get all the latest posts, put them in the DB and then users can pull if they are subscribed to that feed, and sort by all or their own cat's.
Ok, good enough, and I'm done. Didn't get everything I wanted done, but that's ok. Started at 4pm yesterday, currently 8:30am, so 16.5 hours. Not sure, but say 8 hours devel time, as that's what I'd put if I was invoicing for this.

Unfortunately no documentation, which I was hoping to have done, but just isn't going to happen today. Great theme and template engine though, and can be easily modified by any designer. Due to an issue that cropped up today due to recent modifications, I can't offer installs on your own server until tomorrow, as there's some work on the dependency checks I need to do first.
Public registration and client area should be pretty straight forward. As for the admin panel, you're just going to have to find your own way around for now. Only non-standard aspect of that is the Settings->RSS Feeds menu, which allows you to define the limitations of each account type. If wanted, account types can be defined via Settings->Account Settings->Account Types menu.
Anyway, that's all from me for now.

Yeah, my fault for making last minute changes. Deleted my post right when I seen it, hence why yours is now above now.
Working fine now.
Anyway, I'm off...
Update #7: Ok I may have taken this contest a little too seriously, I've logged screenshots every few hours of progress, from design to xHTML, to coding. I've probably put in around 9 hours so far, and it's about 80% complete. I've tested 5-6 feeds all but 1 worked.
Gotta setup cron job and right now only the "All" filter works, just need to setup only showing one, not hard but I'm tired as hell.
Can we call this a 24 hours of total dev time project? haha jk.
