I was actually looking for something like this quite recently. I was looking for an article on a blog I follow, but couldn't remember which blog it was. If I could paste in the list of feeds I subscribe to and then search within those posts, I think that would work. I wonder if you'd provide a way to give it a list of RSS feeds and search within the given list?

This is cool! With new feeds added in the future, I can imagine searching on such a tool instead of Google or Duckduckgo, especially for technical topics :)
- dsantangelo 6y ago
  soon there will be the possibility for the user to add the feeds he wants

The best RSS Search experience, but not on mobile! Also, I just searched for cryptography, 90% of the results are job ads - is that usual? Edit: Sorry, I realise I sound a bit caustic, but on mobile I couldn't even see the full search bar and the "Made by..." jumps up when the keyboard is open. The results look fine!

  you are right, i'm working on it right now. Unfortunately I'm not very good with CSS :D

Where do you get the base set of RSS feeds? I couldn't find that in the README.
- dsantangelo 6y ago
  are the feeds I find on the net that I add via the API but that only I can use at the moment.
  - xenocratus 6y ago
    Would you accept recommendations for other feeds? If yes, where would one post them?
    - dsantangelo 6y ago
      yes open an issue on GitHub https://github.com/davidesantangelo/dato.rss/issues https://github.com/davidesantangelo/dato.rss/issues

'Dators' in latvian means 'computer'.

  wow :D did not know

It would be great to have a place to discover new feed, so it's a great idea. I think the search weights need some tweaking though. If I'm searching for "technology" I'd expect blogs that are about technology not some StackOverflow or Github jobs: https://datorss.com/entries/search?q=technology https://datorss.com/entries/search?q=technology

Nice job! I love the UI. For hackers who want to find the best open sourced tools to work/parse news data (disclaimer: I'm a creator to some of those): 1. PyGoogleNews [1] -- If Google News had a Python library 2. NewsCatcher [2] -- Programmatically collect normalized news from (almost) any website 3. NewsPaper3k [3] -- Article scraping & curation 4. Mercury Parser [4] -- Extracting content from chaos [1] https://github.com/kotartemiy/pygooglenews https://github.com/kotartemiy/pygooglenews` [2] https://github.com/kotartemiy/newscatcher https://github.com/kotartemiy/newscatcher [3] https://github.com/codelucas/newspaper https://github.com/codelucas/newspaper [4] https://github.com/postlight/mercury-parser https://github.com/postlight/mercury-parser

It would be cool if the service would have a rss crawler which searches the web for rss feeds and automatically adds this to the database.
- dsantangelo 6y ago
  yes thanks for the feedback but is not the purpose of the project. The idea is that the user will add the feeds to be imported. I will release this feature shortly

if you like the project support me with a star :) https://github.com/davidesantangelo/dato.rss https://github.com/davidesantangelo/dato.rss

Hey! Do you think this can somehow be integrated with my rss-based social network? www.kalaksi.com :)
- dsantangelo 6y ago
  i will take a look

Cool idea! Would be a great feature if you could have an account and make it just index the blogs you read.
- dsantangelo 6y ago
  thanks for the feedback

dsantangelo 6y ago
