Reminds me: is there any simple not-dead service for filtering posts out of RSS feeds, collating related input feed items together into single output feed items, etc.? I used to use FeedRinse for the former case, and Yahoo Pipes for the latter, but now both are dead.

  inoreader is a web feed reader, but you can access your folders in there as RSS feeds again. Some filtering as well, but it is limited in the free version. Might be enough for you?

  I think Yahoo's YQL[1] can do that. A query like: SELECT title, link, pubDate FROM rss WHERE url IN ( 'http://feed1', 'http://feed2', 'http://feed3' ) | SORT(field="pubDate", descending="true"); should do the job.

  Enabling JavaScript alone will not help either. You also need to enable cookies! Without cookies: http://i.imgur.com/OCuMnWL.png http://i.imgur.com/OCuMnWL.png With cookies: http://i.imgur.com/UU4okkR.png http://i.imgur.com/UU4okkR.png

  I've been watching the Google SERPS view of his website tank since he switched to his JavaScript stack a few months ago. It's a eye-watering example of what happens switching from a static website to a client-side generated one. There's basically nothing on the first page of a site:scripting.com search anymore. Even the Google Sitelinks view lists the RSS feed as the most important page after the homepage.

    Maybe your google is broken, but on mine, I get plenty of hits. If you do a view source on the page you'll see why it works, there's a static copy of the full text just for google to index. Try this search: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ascripting.com+river5&oq=site%3Ascripting.com+river5 https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ascripting.com+river5&... I get all the hits in the first page. This is something that was just posted recently so you can see they're still indexing the site regularly. Now the page rank might be hurt by the fact that Scripting News is http and they say that they're downgrading http sites. That's fine with me. The web is not owned by them, as far as I'm concerned. YMMV.

      Try it with just site:scripting.com Is mirror.scripting.com really the most important page on scripting.com (and it's currently unavailable). That's what's turning up as the top result, more important than the scripting.com homepage.

  Sorry for the trouble, the site is in active development, and I must have broken that recently. Will fix soon as I can.
