RSS Launchpad – a tiny Firefox (mobile) RSS extension extractor
Hello there! I'm sharing a small Firefox extension that I created for my own use (and for fun, of course!). The extension partially restores the RSS support that was removed from major browsers a long time ago: it extracts (or derives) RSS feeds from pages and shows them in a nice way and easy to export to some external reader. Motive I've been reading HN for quite some time, and some articles there helped me rediscover RSS. Nowadays, it has become my top source for reading, especially on tech topics, helping me to focus and detox from social media. There are a few reasons for its existence…

What it does
RSS Launchpad web extension: quickly add new RSS/Atom subscriptions from websites - ilya-m32/rss-launchpad
RSS Launchpad is a minimalist extension for Firefox and Firefox mobile (and should be compatible with other browsers that support the Web Extensions format). It provides a list of RSS/Atom feeds defined by websites as alternative sources in the document. First of all, I believe RSS is cool: it offers an independent, low-distraction way of reading and staying up-to-date with interesting topics without the downsides of social media and modern algo-driven feeds, which often prioritize engagement and clickbait. Sadly, RSS integration was removed long ago from all major browsers. Many websites (especially tech-related) still support it, though! Sometimes, you may stumble upon an interesting blog…from github.com

Extract an RSS feed from almost anything2023 · rssfeedasap.com · ▲151Howdy! 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.
- FTFree tool to find RSS feeds, even if not linked on the page2024 · ▲152
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…
I built a tiny-VPS friendly RSS aggregator and reader2024 · github.com · ▲187Hi, folks. As an RSS user, I tried Inoreader and Feedly, then ended up self-hosting a Miniflux instance on my homelab. A few months ago, I moved to another city and had to shut down my homelab for a long time, so I couldn't access my local miniflux. It was quite inconvenient. I decided to self-host my RSS aggregator on a tiny VPS or PaaS such as fly.io. However, Miniflux requires a PostgreSQL database, which may isn't suitable for a tiny VPS instance. So I built fusion with Golang and SQLite. It contains basic features such as Group, Bookmark, Search, Automatically feeds sniffing,…

RSS Brain2022 · rssbrain.com · ▲139I 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 PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
