What is Reddit's opinion of FetchRSS?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I really liked SpaRSS. Its an RSS reader that uses a local database to store all the data it downloads.

Not all news sites support RSS, but you can convert many major sites into RSS feeds using open source and proprietary products. Here is an example. I'm not endorsing any because I chose to write a custom web-scraper the couple of times I needed this feature.

Za RSS, ja sam podignia TinyTinyRSS na svom serveru jer ja volim komplicirat xD i imam puno vise opcija, ali za pocetak slijedece:

Sve to mozes bez readera, ali ulaziti u 100 stranica i twittera i youtube svaki dan...gubitak vrimena.

Nadji neki RSS reader koji ti odgovara. InoReader ili Feedly, ili slicno.

Nadjes web koji hoces pratiti (vijesti o coinima, developer blogovi i slicno) i njihov rss link.

Za youtube kanale http://fetchrss.com/youtube

Za twitter https://twitrss.me/

Sada imas 2 opcije:

• Ako je zelis citati sve vijesti/twittove/youtube onda samo dodaj u RSS reader.

• Ako zelis nesto specificno traziti/filtrirati ubacis ga ovdje https://siftrss.com/ i u filter uneses sto zelis/ne zelis vidjeti.

npr. neka stranica za vijesti nekad izbaci vijesti o bitcoinu, ali vecinom su o drugim stvarima. Stavis Include > description > bitcoin.

Dobiti ces novi rss link koji filtrira samo ono sto sadrzi u filteru, ubaci ga u RSS reader.

I eto. Skupi sve relevantne stranice sa vijestima, dev blogove ICO-a i slicnog, dev i sluzbene twittere...itd.

Bacis oko svaki dan sto ima novoga :)

Ovo je stvarno vrlo vrlo korisno i prakticno. Vrijeme ulozeno u postavljanje se isplati vec prvog dana ;)

I can edit it down until we get what you want to see on the notification. I selected hidden from user by accident. Made in a hurry.

If this works first of I can edit it so you can change it

I could get the date, the title and the link of each item but not the summary with http://fetchrss.com/. The summary text is just free-floating text in the table td cell, so you can't choose it as an element. The RSS feed still generates ok, so it's worth a look.

Nah the above would likely be a multi-step workflow and Zap charges for those. There’s open-source alternatives to Zapier but those would incur hosting costs so much of a muchness really when it comes to cost.

There’s services like http://fetchrss.com/ that allow you to create a custom RSS feed by scraping a site but their free tiers tend to be underpowered (eg very low refresh rate).

Overall in cases like this you either make it yourself or pay for it 😅

Progress report:

- Added Text Channels for each province, to give that localised feeling.

- RSS feeds added for /r/walmart and /r/walmartcanada along with following:
+ walmart.com newsroom (Feed Link)

- Added channel for those sweet Wal-Mart memes :D

- Added channels for feedback, announcements, questions and concerns

Hey, I don't have the skills, but I did a bunch of tinkering and I was able to figure this out! I used this service http://fetchrss.com/ to turn that NPR page into an RSS feed and then I added it to my podcast addict app

Tenho uma conta dos tempos da faculdade, na altura em que o FB explodiu em Portugal. Os profs insistiam em partilhar por lá todas as merdas (datas, ficheiros, avisos) apesar da instituição ter uma plataforma própria (entretanto passaram a postar em ambas por "recomendação" da instituição e eventualmente acabavam só a postar na rede interna e a linkar para o FB). Não me surpreendeu que as personas online não correspondessem inteiramente com as IRL, isso já se verificava noutras redes, desde o mIRC ao Hi5 e até na blogosfera (livejournal, myspace). Acho que dificilmente irá mudar com qualquer outra nova rede. Instagram é pior ainda e nem sei o que mais ainda por aí.

MAS... aquilo é também o que fazes dela. Tem piada que eu também só mantenho a conta para ir seguindo novidades dalgumas instituições culturais mais a nível local, que infelizmente não têm outra plataforma. O FB nesse sentido é óptimo: fácil de usar e com grande alcance. Em relação a grupos, sinceramente, não há lá nada que não haja no Reddit (no que respeita aos meus interesses) e nos nacionais aquilo é tão parado que nem me lembro deles. De há uns tempos para cá passei a usar um serviço de feeds rss para converter posts de páginas públicas do FB em news e raramente me loggo. (http://fetchrss.com)

Aproveita o teu tempo, não o substituas por outra merda igualmente improdutiva. E se quiseres mostrar os teus trabalhos, eu tenho sempre interesse em conhecer o que se faz por cá, sobretudo o sangue novo.

Put either symbolic or hard links in to a directory, these are your feed elements, then use this or a product like FetchRSS to turn the https directory listing into a feed.

The issue with these and many methods is they are all poll/pull, push would offer a more efficient mechanism, that would also be immediate.

Take a look at: https://www.reddit.com/r/seedboxes/comments/6xic1u/automatic_seedbox_to_dedi_solution/dmhesk9/

Very cool, [firewallbreaker](/u/firewallbreaker) uses a message/event bus to push new notification of new files to a script that is listening.

Use any web to RSS translator service, like fetchrss.com to poll http://pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/en/post

• For the first News Item block, click the gear and enter in .section-content for the CSS selector
• For the second Headline block, click the gear.
  • There will be the .section-content already added, which is the whole row of the date + subject line.
    
  • Append onto that the text > .item-header
• It should render a sample RSS feed on the bottom left of the page.
• Go through the free registration, and you'll have a custom RSS feed for the Pokemon Go Updates page
• I then added that RSS feed into my IFTTT RSS notification and have android notifications! Yay!

From TPB staff

The RSS feeds haven't been operational since the site returned 18 months ago, so there is no reason to expect they will ever return.

But it is quite easy to create your own feeds based on TPB URLs (such as http://thepiratebay.org/browse/602(onion)) using http://fetchrss.com/ (or similar services).

Bear in mind that TPB doesn't host .torrent files so (even if it were to come from TPB itself) it will only provide magnet links.
