  An RSS/Atom feed reader for text terminals

  

> Have you used any modern RSS reader recently like inoreader, they load the content of the page without visiting the publishing website.

I'm happy with newsboat[1]; but I'm not surprised that people have integrated scraping into RSS readers.

Fundamentally, that's not a problem with RSS, that's a war between scrapers and content providers. If the email newsletter model persists long enough, I'd expect that people will come out with "newsletter readers" that scrape websites too.

I'm not sure there's a good long-term solution to the problem. Aside from constant vigilance (obfuscation).

  :memo: A Jekyll plugin to generate an Atom (RSS-like) feed of your Jekyll posts

  

Awesome. I was able to get this going easily enough on my jekyll-created site that uses the jekyll-feeds plugin. You just have to name the template right and it just works.

  NewsBlur is a personal news reader that brings people together to talk about the world. A new sound of an old instrument.

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:
