Re: I Still Use RSS
#352I've mentioned this on HN before, one pattern I've noticed is a lot of sites tend to truncate their RSS feed so you have to click through to see the full article etc. This is mostly OK but kinda frustrating, as in the before-covid times I used to ride the London Underground a lot where no celluar signal is available in the tunnels - so my offline RSS reader would be useless. So I wrote a little web service accepts an…
I think this kind of service is actually harmful to content providers. They can not benefit from the content they created if readers always consume it on the RSS readers. That's one of the reasons many blogger/website don't provide RSS feeds anymore. The RSS aggregators should encourage readers to go to the original website. So when I got the chance to build my own RSS reader( https://feeds.pub ) I only shows a title…
Yeah I always go to the site regardless. I always use list view so all I get is a title and an excerpt.

Do you allow for a feeds list format? In other words, can I just see a list of feeds and folders, and when I click on the feed, it will display a list of articles from that feed? Or is it like Twitter, where everything is squished together.

#355I want to point out excellent koreader[1] program for e-readers, that features RSS client. So you connect, fetch your articles and start reading without distractions.
For such use cases RSS is god-send and I am glad that substack and many blogs do support that.

#358I think my digital life would be a mess without an RSS feed reader. Because of its existence I do not need to touch Twitter, Reddit, YouTube[1], or any Mastodon instance, for example, as I can just have the updates that interest me from these networks in the comfort of my Feedbin[2] feed. While Hacker News does not provide an interface that notifies you when someone replies to you, hnrss.org provides an RSS feed for…
Great collection of rss feeds. I build my own rss feed for HN, because i want only see posts which reach >500 Points in a week [1]. So i did for a few other websites: Reddit r/programming (at least 500 points / week)[2] Producthunt (at least 300 / week)[3] What I'm searching, is a rss feed where i get notified when a book author release a new Book. Unfortunately i didn't found one. [1] https://us-central1-social-chan…
I am also interested in something similar for other subreddits. Is this open source ?

#359I use RSS because my RSS reader overrides bad styling of the webpages (e.g. BRIGHT WHITE FONT on ABYSS OF BLACK BACKGROUND)

Out of curiosity, did you manage to implement auto crawler that can always find the correct html element for any site and remove rest? Or did you have to create per-site rules for it?
