If anybody wants to try RSS a great desktop app for Windows,Mac OSX, OS/2, and of course Linux/BSD, I recommend quiterss. The feature that converted me was the ability to have notifications, but adblock is nice as well. I have feeds for when an item appears that I want to purchase in search results at the price I want, I get notification when stories appear on reddit according to my criteria, and when I want to catch a livestream live or just a newly uploaded video, you can use the channel's feed to be notified as Youtube notification is quite often broken. Here is the list of most significant features: https://quiterss.org/en/about https://quiterss.org/en/about I also tried rssowl, thunderbird, and more, but quiterss is one of the few still actively developed. --- Just to give some examples for people who haven't tried it out before, to get the latest JoeRogan podcast for example you can use the following url in your rss reader: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCzQUP1qoWDoEbmsQxvdjxgQ https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCzQUP1q... You can replace channel_id with whoever you want to monitor. Like a blog on blogspot? Then try https://username.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss https://username.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss and get notified for all the latest stories, and on most of them, read them as well without ever leaving your reader. For reddit just add .rss to then end of almost any url, like https://www.reddit.com/r/hackernews/.rss https://www.reddit.com/r/hackernews/.rss , many also support .json for the programmer in you. While there are dozens of decent ways to get notified about changes on a project at github, if you just want a quick way to watch things, add ".atom" to the end of urls involving but not limited to commits,tags,and releases, such as https://github.com/HackerNews/API/commits/master.atom https://github.com/HackerNews/API/commits/master.atom and also consider looking at https://bandito.re/ https://bandito.re/ . You can usually check the source code for a page for the words rss/feed/atom if your reader is having trouble and find the url manually. Also try appending /feed or /rss yourself and see what happens. Also try googling, which also still has rss feeds for google news among other places on their site if you look hard enough, it is used internally quite extensively. And of course this place supports it, the feed for here is https://news.ycombinator.com/rss https://news.ycombinator.com/rss , give it a shot.
