Feeder is an application for creating, editing and publishing RSS feeds.
Feeder is packed with features to enhance the experience of creating and managing feeds.

Create new feeds from scratch, import or link to existing feed files or download from the web. Feeder supports the full RSS 2.0 specification, including uploadable enclosures for podcasting. However, not everyone needs every feature of RSS. Feeder can hide unnecessary fields, to help you focus on what matters.

Feeder provides auto-complete and customizable templates to save repetitive typing and automatically update publication dates. Feed content can be rich with images, links and formatting; Feeder's editing features help you add these with ease.

Feeder validates your feed to the RSS 2.0 specification and generates an HTML preview so you can see how your news items might look in a newsreader, check links and images and proofread text. When your feed is ready, Feeder can publish using FTP, SFTP or .Mac.

Limitations:
Expires after 15 days.

Fixed a problem where Feeder could fail to read sme MP4 files.
