In plain words

This tool generates RSS feeds from any website by using CSS selectors to extract content. Users can specify which elements to capture, transforming static web pages into subscribable feeds. It's designed for people who want to monitor websites that don't offer native RSS support, allowing them to aggregate updates in their preferred feed reader instead of visiting sites manually.

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…

    XRss – RSS Reader and web stack demo2023 · xrss.infogulch.com · ▲144

    XRss is a simple RSS reader web app built to showcase xtemplate, a new web development tool based on Go's html/template and Caddy server.

This index.html includes everything from SQL queries and route definitions and handlers to htmx state transition attributes and tailwindcss classes, and developing it requires zero build steps (amortized). Check out the source which manages to be at once banal and gnarly: https://github.com/infogulch/xrss/blob/master/templates/inde... xtemplate…
