ttrss_plugin-feediron VS NewsBlur

It Technically could but as far as I am aware it doesn't.

Some alternatives

TT-RSS has multiple plugins, including the one I currently support https://github.com/feediron/ttrss_plugin-feediron

FressRSS has CSS selector support out of the box and has a readability extension that supports Readability or Mercury

I've been dreaming of porting Feediron to both FreshRSS and Nextcloud news. But I barely have any free time as is... one day

Back when I was using Tiny Tiny RSS I've developed af_feedmod to download the article from the linked webpage so you'd end up with a full feed. This was later forked into FeedIron and seems to be somewhat popular by now.

I'm a die hard TT-RSS user, mainly because of the Feediron plugin (A full text page parser) that I now maintain.

The official plugin uses a php port of Mozilla's Readability, which is used for Firefox Reader Mode. There is also the 3rd party FeedIron that is more configurable.

Always good to see RSS projects pop up on hackernews. I'm still maintaining the Feediron plugin for TT-RSS - https://github.com/feediron/ttrss_plugin-feediron

Unlike this project Feediron is only for modifying existing RSS feeds to extract the desired information. Typically uses xpaths to select content

> I've never open sourced it though because I guess it's a bit of a grey area

I'm maintaining the TT-RSS plugin feediron https://github.com/feediron/ttrss_plugin-feediron that fetches full-text data, so my thinking is this:

At the end of the day if it's a openly available website and you are personally (through your own server) fetching the resources I don't think anyone has a right to complain.

Now if you were offering it as a service it might arguably be a bit more grey, but only if you're ignoring the robots.txt file

So you plan something like the FeedIron TT-RSS Plugin (https://github.com/feediron/ttrss_plugin-feediron) to allow customization of a feed to get relevant content?

I use Newsblur, it’s open source and you can self host, but for the price of the service, I am happy to pay. There are apps for most every platform.

A few years (three at the time of this post) ago, I reported an issue I had in the (Open Source) RSS Feedreader of my choice, NewsBlur.

NewsBlur tries to handle this case by comparing stories and if they match up to a certain percentage of the content, considers them duplicates.

Here's the code that does the work:

I use both NewsBlur and Feedly as paid services, but NewsBlur at least is open source: https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur
