Show HN: RSS feeds for arbitrary websites using CSS selectors
Since everyone is pitching their own, I built https://github.com/fran-penedo/rssify, which started as a fork of https://github.com/h43z/rssify. The basic functionality is similar to Vinnl's: give it a URL and some selectors and it builds the RSS feed. From this, I added a few things: templates (if you want to subscribe to individual projects within a webpage, like fanfics in ao3), transforms (when the data is not quite the text of the DOM element), a flask server you can use to add new URLs you have a template for and update the feeds, and a userscript to add the current URL using the server.

Show HN: RSS feeds for arbitrary websites using CSS selectors
It seems that RSS feed generators are a bit like static site generators: it's often thought to be easier to make your own than to learn to use someone else's.
Anyway, here's another self-hosted open source RSS feed generator for arbitrary websites: https://github.com/hueyy/HungryHippo

Looking for a website changes monitor plus notifications.
HungryHippo generates RSS feeds for websites that don't have one. If the website you're trying to monitor is public it might be supported already. If not, you can always send in a pull request or open an issue. It can be hosted with a single docker image, so it's quite straightforward.
