For what it's worth, I wrote a very bare bones RSS reader in an afternoon. It really just renders a set of RSS feeds into HTML and nothing else. But it was fun to and educational to build and could pretty easily be extended to add more features. I would recommend just going for it if you are interested in writing one. It's not as hard as it sounds.
