With the current decline in support of RSS feeds I felt the urge to do something about it, cause I really like the idea of being able to automate on top of a website of choice using feeds. My idea was to analyze the HTML and derive article candidates from it.
The resulting proof-of-concept https://rssproxy.migor.org/ (Repository https://github.com/damoeb/rss-proxy) works quite well, with obvious potential for improvements. You may try to run it locally using docker. The webapp will then be available at http://localhost:3000.
$ docker run -p 3000:3000 -it damoeb/rss-proxy
Keep in mind, that one of the limitations is like a lack of support for browser generated content.
Thanks for reading – I'd love to get your thoughts, feedback, and ideas!
