Is that all it does? I'm sure there are other services out there that do exactly this. Does anyone know of any?

- Turing_Machine 10y agoWriting a system that (correctly) interprets the zillion flavors of "RSS" out there and presents them with a common API is non-trivial. An 80% solution is pretty easy, and a 90% solution isn't that hard, but a near-100% solution will take you into some very dark and ugly places. I don't know of any service that does this as well as the Google Feed API did. If someone else does, please share.
- allendoerfer 10y agoWell, start the service, state you use RSS library X and that you will keep it updated and send people over to it for bug reports and contributions.
- Jaruzel 10y agoAh but RSS is a standard, so where's the problem? One method to recode them all surely? I jest, I'm the author of http://www.weegeeks.com http://www.weegeeks.com - I know only TOO well, how there is no such thing as a 'standard' RSS feed... (sigh) So yeah, I get your point.
- reubano 10y agoCheck out riko [1]. It was developed to programmatically replicate Yahoo Pipes (without the UI). But as it stands, I'm pretty sure it can do most of what google feeds does. [1] https://github.com/nerevu/riko https://github.com/nerevu/riko (full disclosure: I'm the lead dev.)
