Websites that don't support RSS
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 I want to keep track of :(
Arseholes.
- e-flux
- Facebook
- Soundcloud
- Twitter
Workarounds
- ✰ 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.- Selfoss - I think this in actually an RSS reader?
- ✰ 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.
Notes
- 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 thechannel_id
, or grab a browser plugin, etc.

Ones I need to follow-up on / research more.
Personal Requirements
- 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.

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