Currently, it support the following back-ends:
- (recommended) Flickr public set (through the class FlickrPublicSetBackend)
- OPML over HTTP (through the class OPMLBackend)
- SmugMug Recent photos (through the class SmugMugRecentBackend)

In order to create a new app, search through the code for TODO-FORK and make sure you provide the necessary updates at these points.
