Feedconsole: Prettier eBay searches, delivered via RSS
I find eBay's search interface to be difficult to navigate, and while they've started offering RSS feeds, they aren't very "in your face" about it. Feedconsole is a slightly AJAX-ified service for creating custom searches with eBay and having them delivered to your RSS reader of choice. This project was also an opportunity for me to play with Ruby on Rails and some eBay APIs, and to do some serious learning about both.
I spent most of today slicing out the not-quite-ready functionality from the site, so there will be more to it soon! And if it all breaks spectacularly, please let me know via the support email link (at the bottom of every page).
