BlogDB VS worker-planet

I made https://blogdb.org/ to collect blogs from around the Internet, it gets an RSS feed of the blogs. I posted a Show HN about it yesterday that didn't get much traction.

The code is all open source, at https://github.com/symkat/BlogDB/ and I wrote an article on my own blog about initially writing the software from design to deployment: https://modfoss.com/building-blogdb.html

Hi Hacker News!

I built BlogDB to make it easier for me to follow blogs I enjoy and discover new ones. The idea was inspired by conversations I’ve heard here.

I documented the initial design and coding at https://modfoss.com/building-blogdb.html and have open sourced the code, you can find it at https://github.com/symkat/BlogDB/

I've never stopped using RSS, since it is so useful for many use cases. I've even recently built a tool, as an experiment, using it (https://github.com/dethos/worker-planet). Who remembers what a "planet" software is?

Fortunately we can still find many websites and services that provide RSS feeds (probably because the tool/framework they are built with, automatically provides that feature). Implementing it is not hard, but in the end I think the most important aspect of that list is `5.`, not a website in particular but creating awareness that this tech/tool exists and in what cases it can be useful.
