cgm-remote-monitor VS RSS-Bridge

Don't waste too much time doing things from the ground up. There are already a few projects that do this sort of thing. Take a look at the nightscout project. https://github.com/nightscout/cgm-remote-monitor

Any free alternatives? Lots of diabetics like myself use the Heroku free plan to run Nightscout.

There are 66K thousand forks of https://github.com/nightscout/cgm-remote-monitor and I suspect the vast majority are using the free heroku version, so I would guess there are going to be quite a few unhappy diabetics!

This error is displayed when trying to deploy this app from github - https://github.com/nightscout/cgm-remote-monitor

I like to add that this becomes even more powerful in combination with nightscout. https://github.com/nightscout/cgm-remote-monitor

> make the calendar available via rss.

I've thought a lot about ICS/RSS combinations[0], and my current stance is that while they achieve similar things in some cases, RSS is meant for things that happened in the past (items in the future may or may not show in your client), and calendars are meant for future events. This incompatibility makes it hard to do RSS feeds for events, unless you use event-publication-date, which has its own issues.

I've instead been working on custom calendars for sites I care about.[1] is one such attempt from someone else, but I've been focusing on simpler options[2]

There's also the problem that both Android and Windows are horrible with webcal (iOS/MacOS/Linux work decently well), making "subscribable web calendars" out of reach of most Android users, unless the understand the terrible UX that these platforms offer.

rss bridge [1] seems to do the same, but it's not coupled to any rss reader

There's also RSS-Bridge: https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge

"The RSS feed for websites missing it"

That is cool for a local feed. Have you tried it on a server?

I am able to get a lot of generally unavailable feeds using https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge running on my server. Perhaps this code could be someday brought in as a catch-all last resort.

Since everything worked as intended, I created a pull request to the RSS-Bridge repository and after a few hours my code was merged and now every public server will have a new Ko-Fi bridge for everyone to use. And since this is something I will use for myself, I will make sure to maintain it as long as possible.

I use RSS Bridge although it's unfortunate that I have to. Plus in the past week or two spam has been getting through into it which is lovely.

RSS-Bridge has a Google search adapter. You can also fake it with Searx (which offers RSS feeds of search results).
