Make Your Own RSS Superfeed
- bryanh 14y agoWe're especially proud of our RSS support because not only can we combine multiple RSS feeds into one, you can bring other non-RSS sources into your superfeed (think Dropbox/Github/Evernote/etc...). You can browse a ton of them here: https://zapier.com/app/explore?services=RSSAPI https://zapier.com/app/explore?services=RSSAPI Happy to answer any questions or take suggestions!
- josh2600 14y agoI <3 Zapier. I hated the old site, but the new one feels like a straight copy of IFTTT. That being said, it's a tight space and the winner is the one with scale. It is, as they say, a volume game. If I were Zapier, I'd look for a quick exit to a company like Dropbox, Microsoft or any of the other large storage companies. It seems like this tech is tailor-made for archival initiatives.
- seanpont 14y agoHow does Zapier order items from multiple RSS feeds when no publish date is available in the feed? I imagine that feeds with high churn, like that of hacker news, would be tough to mix with those that update more slowly, like a blog.

- sjs382 14y agoTheir pricing is a bit confusing for me. Using their free plan, from what I can tell (though I may be wrong), you can create a single RSS feed from 5 different RSS feeds, as long as there are only 100 new items per month. This doesn't seem like a worthwhile use of their free plan. And upgrading to pay $15/month to consolidate 20 feeds fo a maximum of 3000 news items per month, seems a bit excessive, too. I'm sure there are good uses for Zapier, but this doesn;t seem like one of them. (Of course, this is all provided that I understand their pricing correctly. I might be misunderstanding what a "task" and a "zap" are.)
- baq 14y agoi'm a yahoo pipes user. why should i switch?
- webwanderings 14y agoThat's what I've been thinking. For RSS-to-RSS, pipes can potentially build one gigantic feed.
- fakeer 14y agoYes. I used to subscribe a pipes quizblogs' feed.
- MrTw3Tea 14y agoYep, Yahoo! Pipes offers so much and is fun to lay out.
- tempestn 14y agoMy thoughts exactly. This looks like a less feature-rich Yahoo Pipes. Plus, Pipes has YQL as a fallback for even more advanced operations. Perhaps it wins on simplicity for new users? Yahoo Pipes is pretty simple though.
- julien 14y agoI just wanted to put out there that this has nothing to do with Superfeedr...
