Feature or improvement you want

Feeder can detect rss feed which haven't got any update for quite some time and can notify user.

Why should this be added?

Having heavy rss user, many feeds might stop getting new feeds either because the url changed, site shut down, or feed generator broke. A way to know these type feeds can help so that either the error can be corrected or removed permanently.

Screenshots / Drawings / Technical details

Implementation - A period ( i.e mothly, every x days ), feeder will check if feeds haven't got any new feeds for last y numbers of days. example - Scan weekly if feeds didn't get update in last 5 days.

Advanced - Every feed can either use default value (y) or can be custom set. This can act as priority level per feed.

I suggest this feature is included in more general "show errors in feeds" feature.

Other kinds of info can be useful to users:
