  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

• The struggles of building a feed reader

  I haven't used a feed reader in a long time, but I had a brief period when I was obsessed with Fraidycat. Worth a look if you're interested in a different approach to keeping up with people. https://fraidyc.at/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Show HN: TwitterToNitter. A bookmarklet that makes reading on Twitter easier

  You can separate users with commas on nitter to get a chronological timeline: https://nitter.net/ID_AA_Carmack,PeterZeihan Otherwise you can get RSS links from nitter and add them to the browser extension Fraidycat, I'm not 100% happy with it but it's decent to follow RSS links in a sort of timeline kind of way: https://fraidyc.at/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Electric Tables – an experiment in personal databases

  Related idea: Wildcard [0] It would be cool to have a shared community repository of site adapters, in the spirit of adversarial interoperability [1]. It's probably the most tedious and boring part of such projects, once it's abstracted away it would be much more fun to experiment. This could also be useful for projects like Fraidycat [2] or RSS feed generators like Politepol [3] [0]... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Who wants to help promote RSS?

  > a solution that doesn’t rely on everyone implementing it. Thanks for referencing https://fraidyc.at/ - I haven't heard about it before. I agree that the way how RSS clients were designed 10 years ago wouldn't work. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

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

  > I don't want everything every day. Yeah! I'm with you. Although I don't use it, I'm a little jealous of some of the features of https://fraidyc.at/. For the majority of feeds I follow, I don't need to keep track of unread status, and high-frequency feeds would be much more bearable if they were grouped together to avoid taking over an aggregated listing. I feel like a lot of client defaults tend to hew too... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

With this you basically copy paste like you asked. Source: over 2 years ago

• RSS Is Wonderful

  There are multiple projects that "RSS-ify" websites with no RSS feeds. rss-bridge (https://github.com/rss-bridge/rss-bridge) is one of them. I personnally use fraidycat (https://fraidyc.at/), a slightly different "news" reader. Contrary to all other readers it doesn't give you an infinite flow of all posts, but rather a reverse chronological list of who has updates. It's the same paradigm as most IM apps, but... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• A Guide to Using RSS to Replace Social Media

  I've been enjoying using https://fraidyc.at/ for the past year or so. It ingests RSS and is smart enough for everything else.
