Show HN: We buit this in 4 hours on the local hackathon
- struppi 14y agoVery cool, especially for a 4-hour-project! And it works really well. I just don't know what I should use it for...
- moystard 14y agoImagining that your RSS client does not support filtering or rules, you can use these to get the filtering performed directly on the server. Can be convenient.
- volpav 14y agoExactly, that's the issue I have with Google Reader (such an obvious functionality is missing). Now I can categorize my news within one feed by using this tool.
- eckyptang 14y ago"Oops, an error occured." Perhaps another hour on QA wouldn't go amiss...
- thibaultj 14y agoLooks very nice. However, what must be typed in is somewhat unclear. Maybe you could add a small help label or something?
- volpav 14y agoThanks! I will add some hints as soon as I get to the source :-)
- unwind 14y agoCan someone please fix the submission title, too? They should have time for the missing 'l' in "built", now.
- k-mcgrady 14y agoJust tried it, really cool tool. I hate subscribing to the feeds of big tech news sites because there are a lot of posts I don't care about. Being able to filter it like this is really useful. And in 4 hours! Good job.
- volpav 14y agoThanks a lot, glad you liked it. I understand your pain (I was once subscribed to Mashable main feed) :-) There's a number of existing services (like http://www.feedrinse.com/ http://www.feedrinse.com/) but I really wanted to make it as simple as possible (no sign ups, no fancy UI, easy to use and free).
- zaidf 14y agoSomeone make this for twitter please! A big problem with twitter is that most active users use it for everything from communicating with their significant other to sharing industry news. In most cases, I am only interested in the industry news-related posts when I follow someone and yet, over 50% of my twitter feed(no matter how hard I try to filter) is full of random conversations not reflective of my interests. For the longest time I thought the problem was the group of users I was following. So I removed almost everybody and cut it down to under 20 at one point. It didn't help much: my feed remained dominated by mostly random conversations.
- volpav 14y agoAs a quick solution, you can combine Sieve with Twitter to RSS (http://www.twittertorss.com/ http://www.twittertorss.com/)
- eranation 14y agoNice, but to make this really useful, you need to change the content type, it's currently text/html and some feed readers don't take it well
- volpav 14y agoWill do, thanks for noticing this.
