A rough front-end over the PNCC library new titles RSS feed.
Created because the oldies sometimes hide the new books to reserve when they come out, and to show up the other new books that don't have their own "new titles" shelf like the adults fiction section does.
This attempts to parse the rss feed, visit the page for each item on it, pull some extra data about the title and use it to rate the thing on how likely I am to want to reserve it using basic black- and white-lists for keywords in the subject or section fields.
The source feed is here: https://ent.kotui.org.nz/client/rss/hitlist/pn/qu=newbks-pn&dt=list&st=PD
The code is running on appharbor (maybe, if it's currently compiling ok) here: http://pnlibrarytitles.apphb.com
Todo:
- Store last updated info and check before doing a full refresh
- Tidy up the results grid
- start with grid filtered to score > 0 and fiction only
