   The unique RSS/website reader

   Lenns.io is more than a RSS reader. It's a website reader as it can follow posts by titles in cases when there isn't an exposed RSS feed.

   My favourite part is setting priorities per source and category as well as limiting the number of posts per source. That way, a single source cannot overflow my feed.

• Ask HN: Show me your half baked project

  Https://lenns.io/ - it may not be exactly ready for prime time (lacking communication & marketing); however, it's been fully functional and my RSS reader of choice for the last 2 years. Why - a single source cannot overwhelm my feed; I can set priorities to sources and categories;. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Vore: A new RSS feed reader

  For those interested in new(opinionated) RSS readers, I'd like to know what you guys think about https://lenns.io/? - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?

  I built an opinionated RSS/website reader - https://lenns.io. Everyone can register and use it, but it's built based on my requirements and vision only. Yet, I believe it could be useful to others, and that's why I made it open for everyone to use. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Google Reader Inspired RSS Reader

  For those interested in "alternative" RSS Readers, I'd welcome you giving a go to my opinionated RSS (not only) reader - https://lenns.io. It supports tracking articles by headlines in those cases when a blog or a website doesn't support RSS. Plus a few other goodies, like assigning priorities to your feeds (and topics) and limiting the number of posts per source. Enjoy. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• It's Time for an RSS Revival

  Have you considered an RSS reader that "reads" non-RSS publications? That's what I've tried to do with Lenns.io. You can subscribe to any blog/website, regardless of their RSS support. Then, if they don't expose an RSS feed - the website's titles are followed. That works with about 90% success. I'd be happy if you give it a go https://lenns.io. Bonus - you can set priorities to feeds and the number of items per... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Google have removed RSS support from their developer blogs

  I tried using RSS Generators like https://createfeed.fivefilters.org/ and even a graphical one, but it looks like this isn't a static site but there's some sort of delayed fetch of the posts that messes them up. I don't really think first of intentional malice, but maybe this is the reason their own RSS feed generator no longer works either. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• need help creating custom rss-bridges

  Would it be possible to use a GUI tool such as fivefilters feed creator or politepol to determine the scraping parameters then plug them into my own rss-bridge template? Source: about 1 year ago

• Use RSS for privacy and efficiency

  Some readers have such option build-in (e.g. FreshRSS). There are also services like: https://createfeed.fivefilters.org/ https://feed43.com/ https://politepol.com/en/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• feed43 is no longer supported. I'd be happy to pay if someone made this for me. I have an idea for an RSS feed generator.

  Did tou also had a look to FeedCreator from Fivefilters? (Self-hosted or online): Http://createfeed.fivefilters.org. Source: over 1 year ago

• What's something self hosted everyone needs to run ?

  With https://createfeed.fivefilters.org/ you can make an RSS feed out of HTML code. Its free plan is working good for me. Source: almost 3 years ago
