Sorry for the offtopicness, but trollish usernames aren't allowed on HN, so we've banned this account.

If you want to pick a different username, we can rename it for you and unban the account, as long as the username is genuinely neutral.

Lazier than you think! You almost nerdsniped me into seeing how fast I could whip up a crawler but then I checked the search and found out it can find comments and use a custom date range.

We really do love pudding.cool[1]- I'd never bothered to go look at what it's actually all about till today, and you should too if you've not, because it wasn't exactly as I expected: https://pudding.cool/about/

Is this post showing a bug in HN? It says it was posted 10 hours ago, but Algolia says it was posted 2 days ago

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastWeek&page=0&prefix=tru...

And mehulashah's comment that the thread claims was posted 7 hours ago was also posted two days ago, according to Algolia

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastWeek&page=0&prefix=tru...

From https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... it looks likethere are like 5 or 6 post per year.

hey hn, supabase ceo her

we just announced GA, after ~4 years of beta. for those who don't know: supabase is a postgres hosting company. we also host other open source "backend" tools that make it easy to get started with postgres (tools like PostgREST for auto-generate APIs [0])

we owe a lot to the HN community. you launched us 4 years ago [1], when we were just a few developers. since then HN has been a staple in our journey, one of the best sources of product feedback [2]

the GA badge is mostly to signify organizational readiness. we're at a stage where we can take any profile of customer. we have a support team that works 24/7, and a success team that will help customers improve their postgres usage. we released our Index Advisor [3] yesterday, and we'll be releasing a few more products this week that helps customer with performance and security.

on a personal note: i read HN most days, and love going through the ShowHN's to see what devs are building. thanks for being an awesome community and my favorite place to lurk on the internet. i'll stick around to answer any questions

If there's a workaround, it's ok. Users usually post workarounds in the thread.

> 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).
