Arise is a proof-of-concept news aggregator. It supports all versions of RSS and Atom.

I call Arise a proof-of-concept because it was not designed to be released as a product. I'm sure it's buggy, and it lacks a lot of the features that other desktop aggregators have. That said, it's still a pretty decent aggregator, and even has a few features that many other desktop aggregators don't.

Notes about the application:

• To add a feed, click on the "Add Feed" button.
• To import feeds using OPML, click on the "Import Feeds" button.
• Note that you can view posts by feed, topic, or author.
