I'm sad that a basic description of what RSS consists of makes it onto HN. I still upvoted to help educate the kids :/ FYI FreshRSS is fairly trivial to self-host, and is a really nice option for an RSS reader app.
Preferential to Miniflux myself, but any RSS reader is better than none.
FreshRSS hit the sweet spot for me, combined with NetNewsWire as a mobile UI
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Having restarted using rss in the past months (after probably 10+ years of not using it) i am now starting to remember why I stopped using it: lack of a personal "algorithm" that made hundreds (if not 1000s) of unread daily items to be manageable. I know part of it is on me. I need to let go, unsubscribe aggressively, etc... but this is... work? Im not a regular iOS user, but on it I have feeeeds which actually seem…
Is there still no alternative filling Google reader's void?
Used it for a long time until I switched to a self-hosted FreshRSS instance
Does anyone know if there is a self-hosted rss tool which exposes the data over API? I am interested in processing feeds programmatically but ideally would prefer not to bother with writing the update / subscription / parsing logic myself.

FreshRSS implements two APIs
Does anybody know if there is a RSS reader with embedded recommendaions based on previous likes and/or user-specified keywords?
Is there any RSS reader that is also able to subscribe to newsletters in some way? There are lot of contents that are only provided as newsletters nowadays and I wanted to be able to read my feed and newsletters in the same app, without going into my mail inbox.
RSS/Atom is great to follow blogs, news and some social network such as hackernews and reddit. I hope X/Twitter back to this functionality, but that's a low probability.
Which killed all the legitimate fun and useful bots and just left the astroturfing and discord sowing kind state sponsored bots.
As was the plan.
Yes! I've been using RSS (feedbro reader) to de-algorithm social media for a long time now. Twitter (via nitter), Facebook (public posts only), HN, etc. It's all in a chronological RSS feed. No algorithms choosing what I see, no infinite scroll. If it's not a public post from a user I added, I don't see it. Luckily all my close friends are public-only type posters so it works. My pet conspiracy is that big tech has w…
What they optimise for is time spent on the platform "engagement". And usually rage-baiting content gives better engagement metrics than things that make you happy.
Sadly, filtering features seem to be only available for paid subscriptions of online services, or for self-hosted solutions. Or are there solutions I am not aware of?

You may be interested in tools that parse XML, I'm sure there are libraries for parsing RSS/Atom specifically. I'm not sure what you're asking exactly. You want a tool that will read RSS feeds then reformat the data to a different (JSON?) format or something and have an API endpoint return that converted format? But then for what purpose of transforming the XML(an already suitable format)?
RSS is terrible as a format (Atom is much better), but RSS is awesome as an idea. If your web site were a database, RSS would be like WAL. If your website were differentiable, it would be like its derivative, or rather a Lagrangian, taken at the moment of last update. (BTW all serious static site generators know how to produce an RSS/Atom feed.)
