Huh, interesting! How do you think your site compares to say, Feed43?

  Haven’t heard of them before, I know there are some tools to generate feeds by selecting elements on the page and then the tool figures everything. One of the tools I tried didn’t work for the site I needed it for and so I just wrote it myself, mostly for fun.

    Feed43 is based around pattern matching - it mostly assumes a well-structured HTML document with predictable tags, and it's that method for every site. You seem to have some sort of custom plugin architecture, I guess?

      Exactly, mine is really only focused on sites that are either hard to scrape (login, blocking, not well formatted,...) right now. So either site you want to integrate requires a custom plugin. It's pretty niche but the repository can be found here in case anyone is interested: https://github.com/dewey/feedbridge https://github.com/dewey/feedbridge
