  1. Nikola

    A static website and blog generator

    And I would argue that this is an excellent way to introduce new readers to RSS: instead of the browser popping up a download prompt, you can make your RSS feeds themselves a dedicated page for advocating RSS, in case an interested reader is browsing through the links on your site.

  3. fusion

    A lightweight, self-hosted friendly RSS aggregator and reader

    RSS is my main source of information. And I've built some RSS-related projects:

    1. https://github.com/0x2E/fusion - A lightweight, self-hosted friendly RSS aggregator and reader

    2. https://rawweb.org/ - A search engine for indie websites (the crawler collects data from RSS feeds)

    3. https://github.com/0x2E/rss-finder - A tool for finding the RSS link of a website

  4. rss-finder

    A tool for finding and sniffing rss links

  5. atomfeed.py

    Simple module to create an RSS atomfeeed in Python

  6. chatgpt-shell

    A multi-llm Emacs shell (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Kagi, Ollama, Perplexity) + editing integrations

    > in a way that you're completely in control of, without bloat, without ads, without algorithms.

    If they don’t play nice, they often offer short digests in feeds, driving users to open their sites where you get ads, tracking, bloat, paywalls, and no longer in control…

    Thank you for advocating RSS. It’s the least we should strive for in our services.

    We can also strive for services themselves without tracking, ads, bloat…

    If you have a blog or want to start one, consider supporting platforms that genuinely improve the web experience.

    I built https://lmno.lol after growing tired of the popular blogging platforms.

    Here’s my blog on it https://lmno.lol/alvaro

    If you prefer a different blogging service, there are other folks working on building a more mindful web. Support them.

    By supporting services like these, you prove that like-minded services are not only possible but fully sustainable without deceitful tech.

  7. rust

    Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

    I recently had the need to subscribe to changes to a Github repo and it turns out it provides a feed for them. For rust master branch, for example, subscribe to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/commits/master.atom.

  8. social-app

    The Bluesky Social application for Web, iOS, and Android

    I was happy to see Bluesky supporting RSS on all profiles, but less excited to see that there's nothing in the content: https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app/issues/3384.

    Obviously I can see why they don't want to subsidize the entire internet with high-res videos and images, but a blank RSS feed for media isn't the way to go.

  10. vod2pod-rss

    Vod2Pod-RSS converts a YouTube or Twitch channel into a podcast with ease. It creates a podcast RSS that can be listened to directly inside any podcast client. VODs are transcoded to MP3 on the fly and no server storage is needed!

    I don't agree plenty of podcast are only on YouTube and twitch and never bother to setup a proper RSS feed, it was so annoying I developed a project to fix it for my self
