How I creates teh apps??

[jewelfox]

Dreamwidth apparently no longer uses authenticated RSS for its reading page. So if I want to create an app (for, say, Windows Phone) that lets you keep up with your Dreamwidth reading, I need to create an XMLRPC client.

Here's the part where I try to figure out how to do so.

This DW Github link is for an "XMLRPC transport that supports DW::Request".

And this DW Github link seems to have all the functions for displaying Dreamwidth content, including the inbox and (on line 284) your reading page.

So if I want to write an app that shows your reading page, I figure out how to use XMLRPC + DW::Request to send a getreadpage request? And then it returns your "entries" so I figure out how to parse that on the receiving end? And then I basically do the same thing for stuff like your inbox and posting, I guess ... right?

Can anyone clarify this process for me?
