RSS Box – RSS for websites that do not support RSS

> FYI: If you enable JavaScript then you be able to access additional options in the dropdown menus. The website should still be somewhat usable, but recent versions of Firefox will try to download the RSS feeds.

This is how you communicate with people with JavaScript disabled! Kudos. Most sites either present you with a blank page with no information, a blank page asking to enable JavaScript (even when the content is just text), or silently break some features.

That kind of respectful messaging alone is making me want to take a closer look. Though it should be “then you will be able”.

> Important: Please do not overload this service. Do not make more requests than you need.

What if we don’t have control over the frequency of requests (e.g. using a service like Feedly)? Do those happen often enough that we’d need to host the app ourselves?

I got the same error message using my own user for Twitter

Does anyone remember Yahoo Pipes? That was awesome, I mostly used it (around 2008-2010) to make RSS for sites where it wasn't available https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Pipes

This is a good alternate front-end to Twitter that also provides RSS feeds: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter

The are also RSSHub, which supports more site, but many of them are Chinese websites.
