A couple of days ago I set up an indieweb planet, which subscribes to all the feeds I could find from domains that have been registered for IRC at indiewebcamp.com.
Not all home pages displayed users feeds though, which meant looking at how I was doing feed discovery. Another issue I've been thinking about is preferencing microformats on a page over any linked to RSS versions. I realised I can solve that at the same time by just returning all discovered feeds and let the user decide what they want to subscribe to:
Of course if there's only one feed found, it can be subscribed to automatically. (Thanks Kartik Prabhu for the demo!)
Nice UI. Might I suggest
1. Using the “title†attribute (or the inner text) to provide a useful title for the feed instead of just the URL.
2. Using the “type†attribute to show what kind of feed it is.
