(and Atom)

I'm currently using Thunderbird for RSS, subscribing to a small amount of feeds, and filtering heavily. I got tired of having heaps of feed subscriptions, felt like a job that same way social media does.

• News Cycle - RSS-as-slideshow viewer you can build into your website.

Not bothering with things you can't host yourself. RSSMix is a popular free service that doesn't seem to be doing anything fishy, but it goes down a bunch.

• gbierman/RSSMerge - Gone?.
• simplepie/simplepie/ - PHP library.
• rawdog - HTML output by default, but can also generatea feed with a plugin.
• feed2toot posts from RSS to Mastodon, but it can do so from multiple feeds. You could take the Atom feed from the Masto account if you really needed to~~~~~
• chase-seibert/rsscombine - In Go.
• daverix/RSSMerger - Simple PHP, HTML output.
• fboender/rssmerger - Simple Python.
• Guillaume-RICHARD/rssmerger - Simple PHP.

Planets are a barely-surviving form of web-viewable RSS aggregations. Typically sites would have a 'planet' subdomain, and that page would render results for a number of feeds on a particular topic. Pretty common for Linux and programmery news.

• https://github.com/search?q=planet+rss
• https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RSS - For MediaWIki.
• https://wordpress.org/plugins/planetplanet/ - For Wordpress.

Yahoo Pipes was a web-based GUI thing you could use to (visually) script stuff. I used it to filter and combine various RSS feeds into one. Yahoo shut it down, but here're so similar projects.

• huginn/huginn
• fullscale/pypes
• ericabouaf/webhookit

For websites that don't have RSS feeds you can use thee tools to generate them:

• RSSerpent/RSSerpent
• DIYgod/RSSHub

I assume to encourage you to make an account. In my experience tend to be shit websites I don't want to use! But they have people/things I want to keep track of :(

Arseholes.

• e-flux
• Facebook
• Soundcloud
• Twitter

• ✰ rss-bridge - Supports heaps of places, and people also contribute. Need to host, but there are plenty of websites setup that run it already. EG: bridge.suumitsu.eu
• TwitRSS.me - Very straightforward, enter someone's Twitter username and get an RSS feed. Also does Twitter searches.
• Queryfeed - Does Twitter, Facebook, Google+. Has a bunch more options. For examples get a feed of tags. Didn't like the Facebook page I fed it.
• ✰ getrssfeed - Soundcloud and iTunes. RSS-Bridge doesn't work for Soundcloud for me, but this fills the gap!
• IFTTT - Is a general tool for automating communication between programs. Somethings it helps here. Not a fan though.
• FetchRSS - General, needs registration.
• Feed Killer
• Selfoss - I think this in actually an RSS reader?
• Feeds API
• ✰ RSS Box - Nice and clear, supports lots of different places.
• Huginn - Like IFTTT, a general automation tool that can be used to generate RSS feeds.
• ✰ Kill the Newsletter! - Slightly different, turns E-mail newsletters into RSS feeds.
• Open RSS - Haven't tried it, but seems similar to RSS Bridge (maybe it is?)

• For Facebook you have to run something to convert the JSON to RSS.
• Youtube actually uses RSS, it's just hidden. You can view the feed with the URL https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id= and searching the page markup for the channel_id, or grab a browser plugin, etc.

• Feeds are editable after creation (excludes non-signup ones I guess).
• Not dodgey.
• Maybe self-hosted, or even just a script I can build a page around.

• RSS and Atom
• ALL about RSS - Big list of links and things on Github.
