- jyu 12y agoI fed the custom hn.algolia.com search to something that made it into an RSS feed. So if I wanted to get an RSS feed of all of pg's comments, you could use this as the source link: http://hn.algolia.com/#!/story/sort_by_date/prefix/0/author%3APG http://hn.algolia.com/#!/story/sort_by_date/prefix/0/author%... Then I made a custom yahoo pipe to create an RSS feed, taking a username as a parameter: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=b5d191396ff8e04acddcaedebc2d176d&_render=rss&username=pg http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=b5d191396ff8e04acd...
- rahimnathwani 12y agoI had the same need, but didn't want to use Yahoo! pipes, so I submitted a small patch: https://github.com/algolia/hn-search/pull/27 https://github.com/algolia/hn-search/pull/27
- walterbell 12y agoTaking that one step further, you can convert RSS to NNTP via http://gwene.org/ http://gwene.org/
- rahimnathwani 12y agoThis is awesome and brought a big smile to my face! Some questions: - Is trn still the most awesome news reader? It's been a while since I've used NNTP. - Does gwene.org still update? Every feed I found in the search results was last updated in March 2014 :( - Apart from RSS->NNTP being cool, is there any real situation in which I'd want to use this?
- rahimnathwani 12y agoThe Algolia HN search app supports RSS feeds directly: http://hn.algolia.com/userfeed/rahimnathwani http://hn.algolia.com/userfeed/rahimnathwani
