External streams may be represented by RSS/Atom channels +or popular services such as Twitter or Facebook. The user decides +which of them are publicly visible and which are not. Public streams +are visible for anybody. The rest of streams are visible only for +logged in users. + +The gLifestream software requires an HTTP server capable of running +Django applications and a database supported by it. Data from the +configured streams are automatically pulled from the remote services +associated with them and stored in the database. This mode of +operation ensures the user that his data (messages, links, photos, +etc.) will remain intact even if the external service they came from +ceases to exist. + +To install gLifestream read the INSTALL file. + +Supported services (out of the box) +----------------------------------- + +Any RSS/Atom feed, Delicious, Digg, Facebook, Flickr, FriendFeed, +Google Reader, Identi.ca, Last.FM, PicasaWeb, StumbleUpon, Twitter, +Vimeo, Yelp, YouTube. + +Any service not listed above can be added as an RSS/Atom stream (if it +provides such feeds) or by extending gLifestream and writing custom +APIs support. + +Features +-------- + +- Free, self-hosted web application +- Automatic imports of external streams +- Public and Private views +- User views: Favorite entries, Archives, custom stream lists +- Automatic expansion of shortened URLs +- Embedded multimedia views +- Out of the box output formats: HTML5, Atom, JSON +- Search functionality +- Friends-only entries (via Facebook Connect) +- PubSubHubbub support (publisher and subscriber) +- OAuth and OpenID support +- Write posts by web or e-mail (including media attachments) +- Keyboard shortcuts for navigation +- Customizable themes +- Bookmarklet for easy webpage sharing +- Localization |
