Show HN: I’ve made an RSS news-aggregator based on Wikipedia
- toomuchtodo 5y agoHow difficult would it be to extend this to notable death notices? Scraping https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_in_2022 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_in_2022, for example. And perhaps even alerting based on saved text strings.
- ushakov 5y agothis would be simple, but you should note that wikipedia is always behind, because they link to content posted elsewhere, so if you want a promptly update, subscribe to resources that track deaths specifically
- toomuchtodo 5y agoNoted. I'm aware Wikipedia is always behind, but it is arguably authoritative and collects various citations on individuals reported. Thanks for the reply!
