- mkl 5y agoI'm pretty confused about the concept. Is it supposed to look like this? https://imgur.com/a/4A52Wer https://imgur.com/a/4A52Wer How is such a busy overwhelming feed useful?
- amadeuspagel 5y agoI guess that's how it looks on mobile. I've thought about making it look different on mobile, but on the other hand maybe on mobile it's especially useful to get a dense list of 20 links? I don't use my phone much so I find it hard to judge.
- girriPal 5y agoNeat!
- BrianOnHN 5y agoSo it extracts RSS feeds from websites? https://mergefeed.net/WFH?urls=https://wfhjobs.us/ https://mergefeed.net/WFH?urls=https://wfhjobs.us/
- amadeuspagel 5y agoYes, it uses RSS autodiscovery.
- spookybones 5y agoI like this. Text is too large when viewing on my phone though.
- amadeuspagel 5y agoJust made it smaller. (You won't immidiately see the result due to caching.)
- beardyw 5y agoSorry to sound like an idiot, but what would I want this for?
- amadeuspagel 5y ago- If you want to stay up to date on a topic, make a multifeed for it. Just google "topic blogs", click on a result that looks good and paste it into mergefeed. - If you come across a blogroll (or any list of blogs) you're interested in, you can turn it into a multifeed. - If you have a bookmarks folder with blogs or podcasts, you can paste it into mergefeed to turn it into a multifeed.
- beardyw 5y agoMmm ... Thanks for the explanation, but it just feels like half of a feed reader (not removing articles read etc). And the format gives me a headache.
- quickthrower2 5y agoStick it in your favourite reader (eg phone app) That said Feeder didn’t like the URL in URL format and barfed on this because it has Twitter in it. I think OP needs to URL encode the params. https://mergefeed.net/Cyber_Security_Blogs?urls=http://krebsonsecurity.com/+http://thehackernews.com/+http://www.bssi2.com/blog/+http://www.homelandsecuritynewswire.com/topics/cybersecurity+http://www.informationsecuritybuzz.com/+http://www.informationweek.com/+http://www.securityweek.com/+http://www.technewsworld.com/perl/section/cyber-security/+http://www.veracode.com/blog+https://bhconsulting.ie/securitywatchblog/+https://insidecybersecurity.com/+https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/+https://threatpost.com/+https://twitter.com/thehackersnews+https://www.cnet.com/topics/security/+https://www.cyberark.com/blog/+https://www.darkreading.com/Default.asp+https://www.eff.org/deeplinks+https://www.grahamcluley.com/+https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/+https://www.lastwatchdog.com/+https://www.schneier.com/+https://www.zdnet.com/blog/security/ https://mergefeed.net/Cyber_Security_Blogs?urls=http://krebs...

- ms123 5y agoIf you're looking for feeds, have a look at https://nightfall.city https://nightfall.city
- teitoklien 5y agoThis is interesting , Thnx for the link
- owlrobot 5y agoThank you so much, I love this. Going to try to make a Python script to automatically put links in it and run it.
- cristoperb 5y agoI wrote a little Python service which combines multiple rss/atom feeds into a single feed, in case anyone wants to host their own API for doing that: https://github.com/cristoper/feedmixer https://github.com/cristoper/feedmixer
- Wronnay 5y agoA bit more text describing the app on the website would be great - I wasn't thinking about RSS first...
- strogonoff 5y agoI feel compelled to mention FraidyCat[0], which is offered as a desktop app. It groups posts by feed/individual, with a mini activity bar next to each. It also groups feeds by the specified intensity of your follow (real-time to occasional). [0] https://fraidyc.at https://fraidyc.at
- chrismorgan 5y agoI shall give my usual plea (for the OP and feed authors alike): except for podcasts, please deal in Atom rather than RSS if you have a choice. Let RSS die. Outside of podcasting software, everything supports both, and Atom is the technically superior format, including resolving various unspecified behaviour that does lead to inconsistency across clients, such as with respect to HTML markup in titles (which RSS has no answer for, so that one way or the other all clients will mangle some titles that contain <) and in content (where the main but far from ubiquitously used RSS answer is to leave a blank <description> or <summary> or whatever it is, and use the <encoded> element from the http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/ http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/ namespace). For this project, that would mean emitting Atom rather than RSS. And possibly the autodiscovery needs tweaking too, as I observe it not finding the feed on my site https://chrismorgan.info/ https://chrismorgan.info/, which is properly specified; my first guess is that it’s not coping with the type=application/atom+xml attribute. In related news, MergeFeed is currently vulnerable to injection attacks because it mishandles Atom titles that are specified as text. If you specify a title as HTML or XHTML, it filters out a <script> element properly (good! and while retaining inline formatting too!), but if you specify a title as text, it doesn’t escape the HTML (which is what it should do) or filter it (which would have been wrong but would at least have closed the security vulnerability). Proof of concept: https://mergefeed.net/-?urls=https://temp.chrismorgan.info/xss.atom https://mergefeed.net/-?urls=https://temp.chrismorgan.info/x...
- CharlesW 5y ago> …Atom is the technically superior format, including resolving various unspecified behaviour that does lead to inconsistency across clients, such as with respect to HTML markup in titles (which RSS has no answer for… The answer seems unambiguous in the RSS spec, which is that <title> is plain text (not HTML). The reason I know it's not unspecified is that entity-encoded HTML is documented as supported in other elements (e.g. <item><description>). Your evangelism for Atom is interesting because, of the hundreds of feeds in my newsreader, I don't believe any are Atom. So my impression was that Atom was "at least as dead as RSS" for user-facing applications, which makes me curious what the popular use cases are for it these days.
- monkeydust 5y agoSo this could be interesting. I get asked fairly frequently at work what blogs / newsletters / sites I read to keep on topic X. Could I use this to create a feed for topic X sourced from what I read and then share the merged feed with others ?
- amadeuspagel 5y agoYes.
