Presenting something on the home page of HN would suggest something novel. I must be missing the point because of the downvotes. Happy to be enlightened. Pick CSS selectors and scrape something? That's quintessentially scraping.
- onli 5y agoI'd say the novel part of the project is the Github actions/Gitlab CI integration. I haven't seen that used for RSS generation yet. That the selectors are stored in a config file is also unusual for these types of feed generation projects. Though Show HNs do not need to be novel to get to the top. And RSS related projects seem to go to the frontpage simply because of the fondness HN has for the technology. Also, don't forget https://xkcd.com/1053/ https://xkcd.com/1053/ :)
