GetFacts is designed to process any XML and HTML documents. The current developments concentrate on handling RSS feeds properly.
While RSS is standardized and thus very easy to process, analyzing HTML is quite complex. Every website has a unique design. GetFacts uses templates to determine, for each website, how to extract the interesting content. Templates are made of a few, well-chosen XPath and Regex queries; the complexity of writing such queries will be eased by the Templates Editor (still under development).
GetFacts is meant to be visible at all times for your entertainment. Only a few articles are visible at a time, and the selection changes automatically after a short period of time. Your gaze will be attracted to recent articles thanks to a subtle animations and color schemes. Think of GetFacts a your own personal digital billboard!
GetFacts runs on Windows and requires .Net Framework. The current development version is provided as portable application.
The current development version is GetFacts_0.2_Portable.zip. It is (should be ?) fully functional for RSS feeds.
