I am thinking of writing a daemon to loop through feeds and then add them into the database as ActiveRecord objects.
Firstly, one problem I am facing is that I cannot reliably retrieve the author/user of a story using the feed-normalizer gem. It appears that some times, it does not recognize the tag (I don't know if anyone else has faced this problem).
Secondly, I haven't seen anyone convert RSS feeds back into database entries. I need to do this as each entry will have associations with other ActiveRecord objects. I can't find any gems to do this specifically, but could I somehow hack something like acts_as_feed to do that?
