RssR: Rss Feed Notifier Extension

Frustrated by existing RSS reading extensions, I decided to create my own in a soviet inspired design: RssR!

RssR is an RSS Feed Notifier. You add RSS feeds you want to keep track of and the extension automatically checks for newly posted articles to those feeds, then adds a spiffy NEW badge to the extension icon when it finds some! Clicking the icon opens a popup menu that shows the new articles grouped by RSS feed that you can easily scan through and open.

RSS Feeds are updated every 15 minutes. A max of 5 articles per feed are displayed at a time. Feeds are synced across browsers when logged in to Chrome.

Source code is available here: https://github.com/samrum/RssR
