Custom RSS feed?

Is it possible to make an RSS feed (or any other kind of webpage/feed) where I can make it provides tweets for a few specific people on twitters? I was thinking of having a feed of tweets from a couple different reporters that cover the same thing.

This is a feature I'm thinking of having for my app that's on the App Store already which is for iPhone and iPad. I might put it on Google Play later but if this is something that requires code then definitely iPhone.

There are a bunch of RSS Feeds out there. I believe you just have to sign up. LA

Is there a way to combine them, so I have one RSS feed that features several different Twitter feeds.

Yes there are several feeds to combine in a single feed, if you like. I won't endorse any so just do a Google search. Let me know. LA

I found this at GitHub (where I do a fair amount of trolling for code...) https://github.com/mfaizanshaikh/RSS-News-Reader-iOS I haven't played with it, but he purports to use several different news sources, which would indicate 'multiple-feed' capability. It might be worth snooping through to see if it can be easily adapted to your needs... Twitter Feed, News Feed, it's all RSS Feed... Cheers! -- Smug

yahoo pipes can merge and sort multiple rss feeds into one feed, it's pretty easy and reliable.

Yahoo Pipes works! Now to my next question, let's say I'm making a few of these in my v1.5 app. I don't want people to see them yet, but I want to make them in my control panel. If I create one in my control panel and don't put it on a menu yet, will users still get a notice to refresh the app?

I think in a few days time that won't be an issue. Isn't that what David's recent post was about? Live mode and Design mode? I think that suits what you require. Are you ok working with pipes? I can make a pipe public so you can clone it if you like. Nothing special, but it does the job.

Hey @raveyd, If that's still a 1.5 App, then that design/live mode wouldn't apply? LA

Good point @LA, I missed the 1.5 reference. I guess that won't work then :/

Yeah, it's v1.5. Until there's an RSS feed plugin for 2.0 I have to stick with 1.5. @Raveyd: Could you message me a link to yours. I think I got it but just want to see what you did. Thanks so much, David

bear with me @shak77, got some things to do first - hopefully less than an hour if that's ok?
