Or using Java:

$ java -jar qcast-standalone.jar

Usage

The Overview page can be reached at: remote or local.

Components

The application quite small and currently has just under 900 LoC currently uses HTTP-Kit as server instead of Ring, but there is not really reason for either choice.

For HTML scraping is done using Enlive and the XML feeds are produced using Hiccup.

For logging, Timbre is used; it's nice as it doesn't require XML or property files.

The data store can be a SQLite database for testing or PostgreSQL for production and hosting.
