   A great way to follow RSS

   I was looking for something like this for quite some time. I've been using Fraidycat for about 2 months now. It's very simple and easy to use. I love the you can organize your feeds by simple "emoji" tags. Also, the idea of setting an importance/frequency level per feed is great.

   If only more websites had RSS feeds...

• Create a workflow to display your latest articles on your GitHub profile

  Enter your URL into the RSS generator. I used FetchRSS to create my RSS URL as it is free to use. Another alternative would be rss.app. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

• Can we import all Medium reading list articles to Reader?

  If the reading list is public (doesn't work for private lists) you can use an RSS Feed generator like FetchRSS to generate an RSS feed, but you have to subscribe to FetchRSS. Source: 12 months ago

• how to generate RSS feeds for sites that don't have one?

  I've been using https://fetchrss.com/ and have found it quite user-friendly. Source: about 1 year ago

• allvolsnews.com - Vol Nation's News Feed

  Yeah, that's what fetchrss.com is, it's a scraper, but the page layout on 247sports.com doesn't lend itself well to scrapping. Do you have any favorite scrapping tools to suggest I try? Source: over 1 year ago

• allvolsnews.com - Vol Nation's News Feed

  👍 I'd like to include them too, but they're "stingy" with their feed...they don't provide an RSS feed. I've also tried building my own using https://fetchrss.com, but the way their site is built, the parser was having trouble. Source: over 1 year ago

  There’s also an aggregator app called fraidycat that pulls content from multiple sources and does so without logging in, so you get a breadth of information and non-personalized results. Source: about 1 year ago

  I'm a big fan of FraidyCat for following RSS feeds: https://fraidyc.at/ I also include uBlockOrigin and 1password. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Twitodon: Finding Twitter Peers on Mastodon

  You may be interested in Fraidycat. Per the description: > Fraidycat is a desktop app or browser extension for Firefox or Chrome. I use it to follow people (hundreds) on whatever platform they choose - Twitter, a blog, YouTube, even on a public TiddlyWiki. This doesn't solve the problem of discoverability, but it solves half of what you described. https://fraidyc.at/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
