RssHub – A feed aggregator that can generate feeds from pretty much everything • Hacker News Board

I was so happy at seeing telegram, but it requires admin rights to the channel. There is so much content (a lot of it non-english) hidden away in telegram channels that I want to be part of the open web.

If someone wants to take it up, it is definitely doable with a telegram user account, but the APIs are not readily usable: https://github.com/captn3m0/ideas#telegram-to-rss

Also, if someone is looking to follow lots of GitHub projects using their release feeds, I wrote a OPML generator that uses your Starred repos to generate a OPML file for you: https://github.com/captn3m0/opml-gen

Interestingly, they have bridges for some websites that do have RSS feeds (Steam, Youtube and HN)... Maybe because the feeds are hard to find?

I work on Feed Creator which might be interesting too: http://createfeed.fivefilters.org

My mind read that as RSS + SSH and started wondering what funny thing that could do...

I believe that it might be against Telegram's ToS to scrape channels (Update: It doesn't seem to be). That said: I too really like the idea.

I had been thinking about writing a tool to scrape Telegram channels for another project, but found tg-cli with its Lua, Python bindings and weird command line interface to be quite messy (so I gave up for then).

Since this seems to be in decent demand, surely somebody has already written a tool for this?
