#92Related (maybe) but tangential, does anyone know of a good web to text converter? Back in the day you used to just use Lynx, is that still the way or has it been surpassed?

Wow... I wrote my own WebSub receiver and put it on an always-on server to get around the fact that I assumed YouTube doesn't have RSS from the fact that I couldn't find this information anywhere.
It's crazy how rare it's become to see an RSS link on websites that actually have it if you add /feed or /feed.xml to the url. I have to wonder how much more dead RSS would be if Wordpress (like, 90% of blogs/news sites) didn't create a /feed by default.
Helps discover rss feeds for sites.

Check this out: Puts an RSS/Atom subscribe button back in URL bar. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/awesome-rss/ Helps discover rss feeds for sites.
The screenshot of the RSS icon in the url bar brings back a memory I don't know if I had. Didn't Firefox used to do this by default or am I misremembering?

#98I tried to tackle this issue in a more general way, so i wrote rss proxy [0], that analyzes the dom structure and derives feed candidates from it. Feel free to try the demo [1] [0] https://github.com/damoeb/rss-proxy/ [1] https://rssproxy.migor.org/

RSSBox used to have Facebook support (but only for public pages, no personal content), but when Facebook started cordoning off their API two years ago, I had to turn it off since I was unable to get my application approved. The code is still there, but I am doubtful it would work even if you manage to get an API key that works. I think the best option may be to scrape the web content now, unfortunately.
I have assumed for a while the only way to convert FB -> RSS would be to scrape the home page, but from what I recall the HTML & DOM is all kinds of messed up - intentionally obfuscated to prevent adblocking. From a quick look just now it does seem like it would be a nightmare to try to parse it as-is - and I would guess FB changes a lot of the output regularly anyway to defeat adblockers, making efforts to keep up p…

#100There's an open source service that does something similar, does anyone remember its name? edit : Both rssbox in the OP, and RSS-bridge[1] are open source. I was thinking of the latter. There's also RSSHub[2]. [1] https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge [2] https://github.com/DIYgod/RSSHub
