#25So many RSS stories this week! I'm sensing a trend (hopefully)
I'm sorry to be the pessimist here, but I doubt it. HN users are the most likely to use RSS in the first place. I sincerely doubt that RSS is going to make a comeback this year with all my non-IT friends using it.
Don't underestimate what programmers with too much free time can achieve.

I tried Feedly after Google Reader shut down but eventually settled on Feedbin - that might be worth a look.
If I read feeds daily I might spend 5 bucks per month, but I don't.
It'll just be a subscription I forget that I have. I don't need more of those :)

#30Try Rss-Bridge [1] when the website does not have any feed, it might have an integration already. It also supports custom CSS-selectors to create feeds, or even use SEO-Sitemaps for your advantage to generate a feed from it.
