I share the passion for feeds. IMHO the decision of whether a site exports feeds should not be just up to the owner. There should be a neutral transformation layer that translates any html to rss. Shameless plug [0]. Feel free to support it

As an intermediate solution you can use this feed [0] which is the result of rss-proxy [1]. [0] https://rssproxy.migor.org/api/feed?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnlp.st... [1] https://github.com/damoeb/rss-pro

Maybe my side project rss-proxy [0] might be interesting for you. It analyzes the dom and extracts the articles, so ideally you would not need to write a parser manually. [0] https://github.com/damoeb/rss-proxy

I recently read that grassland binds CO2 in the soil and is therefore better for wildfires.

News with its focus on recent fata only is quite weird concept, given its popularity. The implication that recent data is relevant totally ignores all the former news that would still be a relevant source of information.

I find news as a concept quite weird, since it implies recent data is important data, with all its side effects. There is a ton of old news, maybe even years, that did not loose relevance, but we simply ignore it.

Imagine every failed startup would open-source their stuff so others could stand on their shoulders if they want to give that idea another shot.

This reminds me a bit of artists that complain that they can't live from it. IMO OSS is very similar to this, the salary for doing something you like is by definition pleasure or even fulfillment. But you have to play by the rules of t

If possible I try to apply the rule "it's not a problem, if it's not a problem". Its much easier to write new code than to get rid of old one. Its really helpful if you have a strong feedback cycle that challenges the am

I tried to tackle this issue in a more general way, so i wrote rss proxy [0], that analyzes the dom structure and derives feed candidates from it. Feel free to try the demo [1] [0] https://github.com/damoeb/rss-proxy&#x

Here is my personal experience after applying this method for more than a year. The crucial idea of the zettelkasten method is to contextualize knowledge instead of categorizig it. So its processing information instead of just storing it. H

As one that loves and RSS and hated that many websites don't offer them anymore, I created a middleware that transforms the static HTML of most websites to an RSS/Atom feed. Its just a proof-of-concept, but maybe you like it :) h

Recently i was working with some open-data data and i was in need for a tool that transforms those csv/jsons to something standardized, that i can run queries against and patch the data. Maybe this is a use case for dolt.

A gray goo consuming all carbon based structures that replicates at the same time, would be based on carbon too. Therefore they would eat themselves.
