I love the concept and the services you've built around it, great work!


Good suggestion. I see people already started getting naught ideas. Change is being deployed now.


Maybe a hand curated list of feeds that could be extracted would be better? :)


This is very cool! I will check it out in more detail. I appreciate your recommendation!


Looking forward to feedback! I posted it on HN a while ago, but it can't hurt to have new input.


Thank you! I am intrigued, what project are you currently working on? I would be interested to know if you come across any limitations or see any areas for improvement in my app. Feel free to reach out on X @asapship



This is great! I've had htmlx on my "things to look into" list for a few weeks now and funny enough I use Go on the backend of rssfeedsasap as well. :)


Thanks! I'm trying to make xtemplate into a 'Rapid Application Development' RAD tool, as one of the commenters pointed out. lmk if you feel like trying it out; @infogulch everywhere


It uses several techniques one of which is also meta tags.


Strange. I tried it with my blog and it said there was no feed https://kevincox.ca. I definitely have a alternate link tag set up.


Ha! I've added few more mime types and now it's able to detect it. Thanks for letting me know! :)


What it's worth my own RSS reader also fails to find any feeds from your site because my parser expects the link type to be quoted with either single or double quotes. Not sure what the offical specs say though.

  type="application/atom+xml"


This is a valid unquoted attribute. So it looks like a bug in your reader (and quite possibly the linked service as well)

The primary objective was to access RSS feeds from various platforms or to create them with known structures to facilitate access to feeds, such as iTunes, SoundCloud, YouTube, and Google Podcasts. Recently, I have incorporated the ability to generate RSS feeds for Spotify shows, as they currently do not provide access to an XML file. However, this feature is limited to shows only and does not include playlists or artists.

The main focus was on accessing podcast RSS feeds, which is why the initial efforts were concentrated on these platforms. However, plans are in place to expand support to other platforms and different types of content based on user demand.

May I ask what purpose you are using the RSSPreview addon for?


> May I ask what purpose you are using the RSSPreview addon for?

Mostly, to have an RSS button in the navigation bar, but I found it useful when checking different feeds for the same page. For instance, I've recently started following some software projects on GitHub, some of which I like to follow by release, while some I like to follow by commit, for example. The preview let me see what each feed shows, and get a feel on the frequency of "news" for each feed.

Hope this can help you, I'm no podcast listener so can't really give you a hint on which podcast-related features I would look for in a news feed.


I appreciate the visits and people testing things out, I'm observing the logs and I've already fixed a few problems and added a few things to my todo list. \o/


Simply put, it is exactly that. :) The problem with querying "restaurants" in Google Maps is that it doesn't show all of the closest ones. At least not where I live at the moment. This is one of the reasons why I decided to make this.
