   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.

• 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! Our Newsroom feed reader uses NLP and ML to groups similar articles for low-noise research/reading: https://newsloth.com/#features Currently, it detects and groups articles from around 200 popular global news sites, and gradually growing to... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• 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. Our API can auto-magically detect relevant articles in most cases. The platform... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• 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 / 7 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 / 12 months 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
