@patrickrhone Wow, excellent. That brings back a lot of memories.

Why is it called EchoFeed?

\n
\n
\n

The good reason: Because it takes a feed and ā€œechoesā€ it to other services. The real reason: It reads RSS feeds, so Feeder. Feeder are a band with an album called Echo Park. Echo is a good name because the album link AND the meaning of the word echo. Naming things is hard, leave me alone.
