Extract an RSS feed from almost anything
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.
Extract an RSS feed from almost anything launched on September 3, 2023 with 151 votes, #327 of 4,228 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.
In plain words
RSSfeedASAP extracts RSS feeds from websites and online content that don't provide direct feed links. Built for podcast directories, content aggregators, and anyone needing to convert web content into RSS format, it automates the manual work of hunting down feed files. The tool handles messy submissions and sources that lack standard XML feeds, making it useful for those who regularly need to locate or create feeds from scattered online sources.

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…
- YNYou Need Feeds – Introduce friends/family/workmates to RSS and webfeeds2018 · ▲205
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 made an open source Mailchimp RSS-to-Email alternative2024 · github.com · ▲109Hi all! Excited to share rss2newsletter after completing dev work for the initial release. The idea for this project came out of necessity, as I wanted to share my articles via email newsletter. I was looking for a super minimal, lightweight, and open source solution, and when none existed, I decided to create one. For any sizable number of email recipients, a popular platform like Mailchimp will easily cost you hundreds or even thousands per month in per-contact fees. rss2newsletter, on the other hand, allows you to use Amazon SES, so you can reach your audience at pennies on the dollar.…
