An alternative News.YC feed with a link to the comments thread in the body of the posts
- inklesspen 19y agoI got tired of waiting for News.YC to implement the comments links in a format usable by my newsreader. (Yes, I know they're in there, but I don't know of any reader that actually uses the comment tags.) So I made this one. When you hit it, it downloads the feed from News.YC and reformats it into an Atom feed (I like Atom; there's only one standard, not 9 like there are for RSS (see http://diveintomark.org/archives/2004/02/04/incompatible-rss http://diveintomark.org/archives/2004/02/04/incompatible-rss )). The feed is cached for the next five minutes in order to be nice to pg's servers. Total code: approximately ten lines of Python, thanks to some excellent libraries like http://www.feedparser.org/ http://www.feedparser.org/ pg, if you have any technical adjustments you'd like me to make, like adjusting the time between hits to your rss feed, let me know.
