• Style Your RSS Feed

  > Have you used any modern RSS reader recently like inoreader, they load the content of the page without visiting the publishing website. I'm happy with newsboat[1]; but I'm not surprised that people have integrated scraping into RSS readers.

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

  Newsboat[1]. Having everything happen locally on my own machine is great - I never want to be in the position of losing Google Reader again. And the option to do non-interactive refresh makes is almost as nice for high volume feeds. --- 1. https://newsboat.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• RSS Feeds for Information about what the Government is Doing

  I don't think we actually disagree: there's plenty of "real value" in RSS, real value that I extract both as a user (I use newsboat[1]) and a producer (I maintain an Atom feed for my blog). The problem isn't that RSS isn't good or useful, it's that it doesn't fit into the incentive structures that we've bought into. An Internet in which RSS thrives is not one in which John Q. Programmer makes 250k a... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: What do you read for general knowledge?

  It is composed of the relatively small number of the high profile developers that occasionally pop up on HN. Most are blogs I found of less known developers which I bumped into when searching other stuff or when casually browsing Github/Twitter/StackOverflow. I try to add new feeds wherever I find them. Would have shared RSS subscription list if was easily possible, however I use the newsboat [1] program and read... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
