    I developed a small tool to find RSS feeds for websites. You can try it out here: https://lighthouseapp.io/tools/feed-finder In >90% of cases the standard way of checking meta tags is enough to find the feeds. But my goal for this tool is that it finds feeds regardless if they're linked somewhere or not. That if this feed finder doesn't find a feed, no feed exists. It's a big goal and admittedly not there yet, but it does a few things that are a step in that direction. * Checks meta tags of parent pages (sometimes the article itself doesn't have the meta tag, but the main…

    Alternative search engines are neat, as are RSS feeds. OpenOrb is a self-hosted app which allows visitors to search over a list of blogs you love. If you put your 10 favourite blogs in there, it'll search just those blogs and not show you any sponsored content or machine-generated garbage (unless... you follow blogs written by machines?) Personal RSS feed readers can usually do this sort of thing, but RSS readers aren’t meant to be shared, so you can think of the search engine as a 'curated feed list as a public service'. I wrote a longer blog post about OpenOrb here:…

    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…

    RSS Brain▲139

    I wrote an RSS reader called RSS Brain recently. The motivate is the current RSS readers either don't sort articles by priority, which makes it hard to read posts from HackerNews and Reddit, or sort it with some "smart" algorithm which I don't trust. I also like the Google News feature that can show related story from different source, but the sources are not configurable and the algorithm is not transparent either. So with RSS Brain, I implemented these features: * Recommend related articles from the feeds of your choice. It's backed by ElasticSearch and the algorithm is described on RSS…

    Hi everyone, I built a tool a few years ago called RSS Lookup(https://www.rsslookup.com/) and recently made a few UI and feed detection updates to it. It's free, and allows you to paste any website URL and it automatically searches for feeds via meta tags, fallback paths, and hardcoded feeds for some popular sites. It's also open-source(https://github.com/mratmeyer/rsslookup), has no ads, and doesn't track any URLs(uses Cloudflare Turnstile for abuse and Plausible for analytics). Max

    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.
