Products that do what FeedsBot – A Meower bot that posts RSS feed updates to groupchats does
Hi, HN! I made this awhile back as a Meower[1] bot that posts RSS feed updates to groupchats, and reads RSS feeds, powered by Extractus' Feed Extractor[2][3]. My friend's groupchat uses this bot to post updates to his blog, and he says that it has been working out great. Looking forward to your feedback and suggestions!

Howdy! RSSfeedASAP scratches my own itch. I run a regional podcasting directory which gets dozens of messy submission for podcasts. Often they don't even include an xml file and me being a good samaritan I sometimes do the manual work and find it myself. I got tired of that manual work and decided to build a microapp. RSSfeedASAP is this app and I decided to release it in case someone else finds any use in it.

Partially inspired by recent discussions on HN and other places. I've made a single-focus site to introduce your friends/colleagues/neighbours/family to RSS and web feeds. https://www.youneedfeeds.com/ The site is meant to give the elevator pitch for feeds, show a newbie what feeds are and how to use them, set them up with a reader, and give them some nice starter content if they want it. So much tastemaking and newsmaking power is concentrated in the hands of Facebook/Reddit/Twitter, but I'm convinced it's because much of the general populace doesn't…

Hey everyone. For those who remember, Yahoo Pipes was a tool to mashup RSS feeds back in the good ole' days. :) I really loved that tool, but of course, it was shut down. Since then I know there's been a few tools and attempts at bringing it back. I always wanted to create Yahoo Pipes clone myself. So here is my small side project - Mashups.io https://www.mashups.io It's an MVP at the moment and well, let's see where it goes. Thanks all!

I'm heavily relying on Reddit for my online research, but there are many repetitive questions and recommendations on subreddits, so I trained a GPT bot on over 100k r/BuyItForLife comments and posts to embody the collective knowledge of this Reddit community (and soon many other subreddits). Some posts I answered with the bot: - Request Post: Dishwashers. What’s currently the best dishwasher for home use? - Bot Answer: https://www.looria.com/bot?q=what%27s+currently+the+best+dis... - Request Post : Recommendations for hiking shoes? - Bot Answer:…

I made my own Discord bot for managing RSS feeds, called Discorss. Discorss is open source, has AI summarization, automatic paywall skips, and can be entirely managed with slash commands. Best of all – self hosting is very cheap and trivial with Railway, so you can add your own customizations to how the RSS bot works. I've been using a personal Discord server as my RSS hub – it's convenient and I can setup different channels for different newsfeeds (i.e. an HN channel for the frontpage). I was using https://monitorss.xyz – but it's barely had any changes, and needing to manage the…
