ttrss_plugin-feediron VS yarr

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?

me too but i came back with yarr reader https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr

I switched to yarr from FreshRSS. Set it up in a docker container and stuck authentik in front of it.

I self host a yarr[1] instance. I love it, and it's pretty cheap to do so. RSS is still ubiquitous, if underground. Sometimes the feed links are hard to find but they're usually there.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am now maintaining a fork of yarr(https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr). The reason for that is the original author of the tool doesn't want to introduce any 3rd party dependencies(https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr/issues/57#issue-864736485).

yarr! - I’ve been locking for a solid minimalist rss docker app and couldn’t be happier with it!

Picking a good RSSReader (FreshRSS, yarr) and finding out ways to get good feeds (rssbridge, fivefilters) was a game changer. I get much more diverse information, and that I decide what I see (opposed to some algorithms).
