I got back to Feedstand after the Feedsmith push over the past few weeks.

Went deep into improving the performance across the entire feed processing pipeline (what actually gets and stores the content from feeds). It is now significantly faster and uses less memory, enabling the processing of more feeds in the same amount of time.

I also decided to extract the feed discovery logic into a new package, Feedscout. As a separate project, it gets more room to grow and to support various methods of feed discovery. All while keeping the feed reader codebase lean.
