In case anyone wants to detect the selectors automatically, here's a small python library I wrote that does it for you: https://github.com/lorey/mlscraper

A good idea and very cleanly implemented. I imagine that there's a ton of other possible applications that don't require much modification to the code. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much, happy to hear! There's a more versatile version coming soon :)

The problem with RSS/Atom feeds has always been they were mostly auto-generated. If only those was authored like a primary medium (instead of being just crappy auto-cuts of the articles' beginnings with links to the web site) it would be way better than social networks.
