forage's Issues

Some feedback

Hey there!

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you on this.

So first of all it seems that we want to slightly solve different problems. I wanted to try to create a PHP package to create and read RSS feeds while your package seems to mainly read different types of streams (RSS, JSON,....). Which is cool of course but I think it's clear we're trying to do two different things. I'm probably going to try to work out my own RSS package, I've been wanting to create one for quite some time now and I really want to give it a shot myself :)

But I can really see the potential for yours as well. The benefit you'll get to use read from both RSS and JSON feeds could be very useful (and flexible) for some use-cases. Also: you might want to take a look at FastFeed which reads from RSS and Atom feeds. Maybe you can use it as part of your package.

Hope this helps. Just let me know if you need help with anything else!

**Edit:** Actually, I've changed my mind about creating your own Collection class. I think it _is_ perfectly valid to use Laravel's collection class but you just can't require both the L4 and L5 version at the same time. So this means this package cannot be used in L4 versions. Which is perfectly OK imo because L5 is out now and we should aim to support the new version in the first place and not worry too much about the old versions.
