Products that do what RSS Feed Discovery Engine does
It accepts urls and tries to find a feed for it. Most of the work is O(1). Scratches a personal itch.

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…

I built Site Spy after missing a visa appointment slot because a government page changed and I didn’t notice for two weeks. It watches webpages for changes and shows the result like a diff. The part I think HN might find interesting is that it can monitor a specific element on a page, not just the whole page, and it can expose changes as RSS feeds. So instead of tracking an entire noisy page, you can watch just a price, a stock status, a headline, or a specific content block. When it changes, you can inspect the diff, browse the snapshot history, or follow the updates in an RSS reader. It’s…

FeedRiv is an open source RSS feed reader that I built as part of my 12 Startups in 12 Months Challenge (Open Source Edition). The open source code can be found on Github: https://github.com/dashboardq/feedriv It is very minimal and probably a bit rough in some areas. I use it to track freelance jobs through RSS so it does what I need it to do.

Sometimes it's hard to keep up with multiple RSS feeds, and would be great to get some help filtering out the least relevant part of it. RSS filter is a side project that I created for myself to act as an RSS feed articles recommendation system, but self-hosted. It has a Python backend that is able to “proxy" your existing RSS feeds and after learning a bit about your interests, starts recommending similar articles and filtering out the rest. While, of course, always including some random articles for discovery. It uses LLM embeddings and machine learning to recommend similar articles.…
