I was very excited by this and it's promising, but it needs a bit more work to be usable. I was hoping the RSS technique would help avoid the SEO and blogspam that Google is now filled with. Unfortunately, I still get quite a bit of that (my query was "espresso machine" and I got a bunch of listicles, etc). I think applying a layer of curation on top would go a long way to fixing this.

Love the idea behind this. Generally any new way of attempting to find signal among the noise of the internet is good, and I think RSS is niche enough to automatically remove a ton of noise from the dataset, and the fact this will mostly target articles and blogs gives it a distinct flavor. Gonna put this with the marginalia astrolabe on my "small web search" bookmark folder.
