I see newsletters as a first level of curation/aggregation that helps managing the daily deluge of content/information. I've built a database of newsletters, there's 500+ indexed and categorised so far. I'm adding n

if you don't want to give your email address or fill your inbox with newsletters, you can get them in your RSS feeds. I just added this feature a few weeks ago to the RSS reader i built ( https://aktu.io/about ). Right n

Shameless plug here but i built something that you might like. It's a GoogleNews/RssReader crossover. It aggregates thousands of content sources across the world to give you the top stories of the day. And you can manage your RS

I've tried many RSS readers since the terrible day Google shut down GoogleReader, and i used to have at least 2 or 3 websites for my news: a RSS reader, GoogleNews for the top stories, etc... In the end i was tired to have to switch be

I'm mostly using a RSS reader, tagging articles as "read later" and/or starring the ones i want to save. For quite some time i used Feedly, it's a great tool, but i was missing some features so i've built Aktu

I built https://aktu.io , a mix between GoogleNews and GoogleReader, would love to have your feedback if you want to give it a try!

i've tried to solve some of these issues with the feed reader i built https://aktu.io : - sites without feed: These sites usually have a Facebook page so i added a feature to subscribe to a Facebook page. The page posts no

you still can follow public FB pages with RSS. It needs some HTML parsing but it's doable. To make it easier i've added the feature to aktu.io and i'm following a few FB pages of websites that don't have RSS...

by guybedo 8y ago
well you don't need to login to access these pages, they are public, i ended up doing some html parsing :-)

by guybedo 8y ago
well i guess there are other ways but as i built a RSS reader, i've added this feature. But you're right they deprecated the api, so it only works for public pages, and not people's profiles.

Might be useful to some: i realized some time ago (yeah it took me a while...) that most websites that don't have a RSS feed do have a Facebook page. So now i just add those Facebook pages as RSS feeds in my reader and i can follow w

by the way, i'm trying with Aktu to improve the RSS experience, well at least mine :-) I've always missed a few things that i tried to add to the platform. I mostly wanted to reduce the noise in my feeds and i also wanted to have

yep RSS sure isn't the most user friendly solution, and i guess it's always been the problem #1 with RSS. But it's getting better, or at least not worse?, there's now many good web-based RSS readers that do a great job a

I might be biased here as i've built a news aggregator/RSS reader ( https://aktu.io ) but imho RSS was and still is the best way to get news from sources you like. This is so obvious when you compare RSS to social platf

If you want to try a GoogleNews like app that didn't partner with any big news site, i built https://aktu.io . It's a RSS Reader / News aggregator, so you can add/manage your own rss feeds and there's als

Not sure we're losing that much, there are many good RSS readers that provide way more features than Firefox does. Off the top of my head: https://feedly.com , https://inoreader.com , and my own https:/&#x2F

I you don't like fancy magazine-like layouts, you can try https://aktu.io , it's a rss reader+news aggregator i built. Would love some feedback!
