   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.

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

• RSS Feed Organization Strategies and New Feed Cost

  >> I'd love a RSS reader that groups items on the same topic. We had the same concern for everyday industry news, and so did some of our customers, so we built it a while back!

• Ask HN: What RSS Reader do you use in 2022?

  For many years, I used Feedity for generating RSS feeds from webpages without one. They've since renamed to New Sloth, and also have a nice although basic feed reader. I like its article grouping feature, and use the whole package (feed creation and reading) for my research work on a daily basis. https://newsloth.com. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• “We removed the RSS feed since this technology became obsolete”

  RSS may be obsolete from a marketing perspective (i.e. Lack of visible RoI), but its growing in other areas like media monitoring, podcast delivery, RSS-to-newsletter etc. * * Shameless plug * *: our duper-easy feed builder at New Sloth (formerly Feedity) - https://newsloth.com, helps create custom feeds for any public webpage.
