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
In the maker’s words, at launch
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 compared to other extensions I was able to find, primarily: - I wanted an up-to-date extension with the fewest possible permissions (hence, no global background scripts, most FF extensions ask this). This extension can only access the active tab and only when it is used. - I aimed for a native look and feel, including Firefox for Android. - I wanted some special logic for websites that support RSS but hide it (like YouTube). So sharing it here for other RSS enthusiasts! All MIT Licensed. Links: Gif screencast: https://github.com/ilya-m32/rss-launchpad/raw/master/screenc...

- 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…

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.…
