rss2email VS rss-proxy

I personally prefer to read my feeds via my email client, and hacked up an RSS to email script:

Having the feeds in your mail client makes sorting, and searching trivial. Plus you get the content archived for future reference.

I use rss2email to send feed contents to my inbox, from there I have a good searchable archive wherever I am - be it desktop or mobile.

I never got the hang of using a browser to read feeds, email suits me much more naturally.

I wrote yet another "rss to email" tools, which is what I use for consuming feeds:

https://github.com/skx/rss2email/

(Rewritten in go, primarily because the standard r2e was the last daemon/program on my host that required python. So switching let me drop a whole bunch of dependencies.)

I currently use a go based version of rss2email from https://github.com/skx/rss2email . Works great, and the dev is very responsive to bugs or feature requests.

RSS is awesome! I never got the hang of using a read-application, instead I use rss2email to get copies of posts delivered to my inbox.

There are a few different tools for getting the feeds to email, my own is a pretty simple golang application I run in a docker-container:

You can build from tip, or install the 1.16beta1 release, if you want to experiment. (Something I did for a couple of my projects, for example.)

Thank you for that. I haven't tried https://rssproxy.migor.org/ either but I'll definitely add it to my list. Other similar services I'm aware of include:

I have been using https://github.com/damoeb/rss-proxy which has been pretty good so far for the websites that I want to monitor that don't have an RSS feed.

I'm using it every day, that's what happens to it. Many sites provide their own feeds and those which don't can often be fed to something like rss-proxy [1] which will create a feed (or several feeds) based on an XPath query [2]. This can be self-hosted so you don't have to inform external entities about your feeding behaviour.

[2] e.g. here's how to get Göteborgs Posten (a Swedish newspaper which ditched its feed some time ago) in an RSS feed reader (Atom is also supported through ...&o=Atom) - note that this is an example.org domain so the link does not work as is - https://rssproxy.example.org/api/feed?url=https://gp.se&pCon...

Surprisingly I haven't immediately found software which has received more attention that rss-proxy (1300 Github stars). I've installed the program, but it fails to detect some or all desired elements on specific websites and there's no way to adjust from what I can see. Politepol fails to build on my system and to my knowledge doesn't support Javascript (on websites) when self-hosting.

It might be possible to setup an RSS proxy https://github.com/damoeb/rss-proxyhttps://rssproxy-v1.migor.org/ <- might work outright:
