  • RSS is still pretty great
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 11 Feb 2024
    I love RSS. I take a bit of an unconventional approach and use Discord as my RSS reader. I run a self hosted instance of MonitoRSS (https://github.com/synzen/MonitoRSS). I have a server with just me and my bot instance and I tend to group my feeds into categories and channels (effectively creating a tab system per subscription or group of subscriptions). I have Discord installed on my laptop, phone, and desktop so this means that I can easily look at all my subscribed feeds wherever it's convenient for me. When I'm not set to "do not disturb", I even get push notifications on my devices when content is posted to feeds that go to channels I haven't muted. I think the only real downside of the setup is some days I am very busy and don't check the server that often, so I'll come back to a large backlog of things to read and I'll end up missing or under-appreciating some gems.

    Monitor-RSS with rss-bridge Monitor-RSS allows me to filter RSS feeds obtained from rss-bridge with keywords and let's me embed them to discord. I mainly use xpath on rss-bridge to scrape sports news (fantasy football injuries) and add those feeds to Monitor-RSS that allows to filter them by player names or anything specific I am interested in. Sending those filtered feeds to Discord results in easy reading and manage them via discord tag or channel notifications. This way I get notified for stuff I am interested in and ignore anything not relevant 😎

    I have a private Discord server that acts as an RSS reader via MonitoRSS[1]. It works great because Discord has really good notification configuration. Some feeds I want to know about immediately, others I only want to see when I check the news, and because I can mute channels I can let my friends use it as well. They set up their own feeds and I don't have to be alerted to it but I can go look if I'm interested in what they're reading lately.

    All that is to say that RSS still works. What's missing is the original content creators of the early RSS world. Nowadays, most people create small, easy-to-write, easy-to-consume content in one of the walled gardens since the notifications, interactions, and network are all included for them.
