Trust me I have built the RSS reader for the future. Check it out
Reply sourceSince everyone is launching their app, I have spent longs hours with no break to vibe code the RSS feature for the future. Fable 5 seriously crazy impressive ngl.
Obviously this is still early for enterprise grade but cloud infra is currently running local and stable for personal use.
Check the app out here - http://localhost:8080
Not gonna bore you with 2008 features like local-first and keyboard shortcuts. Here are some actually next-gen RSS features.
- Agentic Reader — AI agents read your feeds, extract what matters, and suggest you to skip, skim or read.
- Retina Noise Suppression — tracks what you look at, skip, and abandon to predict what you never want to see again.
- Real-time tracking — Get updates as soon publishers hit "post". 82% feeds can be tracked as the article is being written (buggy feature).
- Universal Full-Text — reconstructs the complete article even when content is down or removed.
- Paywall Negotiator — detects gated content and finds a way to retrieve the full article.
- Universal Feed Discovery — Beyond open discovers feeds across the deep and dark web
- Future-Context Injection — Add context from all sources even "what might happen in future type of thing" with single click
- Event Horizon — detects a developing story across hundreds of feeds before it becomes “news.”
- Feed Twin — learns what you would subscribe to if you had infinite time and continuously discovers feeds accordingly.
- Knowledge Decay — resurfaces old articles exactly when the information becomes relevant again.
- Zero-Feed Mode — stop subscribing to feeds. Tell the reader what you care about and let it build your feed graph for you.

PolitePol downgraded free tier feeds from 20 to just 3
Reply sourceJust a heads up. PolitePol has decreased the max amount of active feeds for free tier users to only 3 today, a massive downgrade from 20.
If you have more than 3 active feeds and suddenly many or most of them stopped working, this is why.
The 3 feeds that remain active are randomly selected and all remaining ones are moved to "frozen" tab. You will need to login to PolitePol then choose the 3 most desired feeds there, and move other feeds to any other alternative RSS generator sites.

Built a tool that shows you the most important world news
Reply sourceI've long wanted to have a tool where I see only the news I'm interested in but also don't miss anything important happening in the world. So I built a platform that aggregates news from several sources, analyzes and ranks them by importance, and sends them in a once-a-day digest.
There is an RSS feed that has just the most important news globally, and also customizable Telegram bots.

New little tool: "Pintxøs". RSS without the clickbait.
Reply sourceWhat it does: grab RSS feeds, get them back without the clickbait headlines and blurbs.
https://github.com/janw76/pintxos
Example:
- Original title: "Netflix's Renewed Sci-Fi Thriller With Perfect Rotten Tomatoes Score Officially Hits A Filming Milestone". But which show? What milestone? Argh 🤯!
- Pintxøs output: "Netflix's Supacell completes season 2 filming"
Garbage in, sanity out.
Pintxøs adds a ≤100 word summary and republishes a new RSS feed you can subscribe to in your aggregator of choice, with the new title, the summary, and a link to the original article.
Self-hosted in Docker, MIT licensed, bring your own Anthropic API key. Vibe-coded with Claude.
Maybe some of you find it useful too. I know there are a lot of amazing AI-driven RSS tools already. I just have a soft spot for tools that do one or two things only.

I built a Chrome extension that shows you the angle in whatever you're reading, then argues the other side
Reply sourceI read too much news, and I noticed I was doing the same two things over and over: nodding along at stuff I already agreed with, and getting irritated by stuff I didn't. At no point was I actually clocking *how* either one was written.
So here I am with this thing called Veritype. It's a Chrome extension. You right-click an article — or highlight just the paragraph you're suspicious about — and a panel opens beside the page.
It'll tell you roughly where the piece sits left-to-right, but honestly the score is the least interesting part. The useful bit is underneath: which specific words are doing the persuading, who got quoted and who conspicuously didn't, what's been left out. Then it writes you the strongest version of the argument on the other side. Not a strawman it can knock over. The actual best case. I've also tried to add some more and more interesting features over the past couple of releases (1.2.0 is currently submitted for review).
There's also a Similar Sources panel that finds the same story covered elsewhere and shows you where those outlets sit, in case you fancy reading the version that will annoy you.
There's things it's bad at, which you'd find out anyway, so I may as well go first:
\- It is not a fact-checker. It has no idea whether anything in the article is true. Framing and accuracy are two different problems and I have gestured at one of them.
\- Bias by omission — the story nobody ran, the expert nobody phoned — is the most important kind, and it's the kind it's worst at. Turns out it's pretty dang hard to spot what isn't there.
\- Paywalls and PDFs stump it. It just sits there looking useless.
\- Run the same article twice and you get slightly different wording and a slightly different number. It's a language model, not a set of scales.
\- One article is not a verdict on an outlet. Someone is going to screenshot a single result as proof that their least favourite newspaper is Officially Biased, and I'm going to have to live with that.
Free tier is 10 a day, no card, no trial that quietly becomes a subscription. Pro's $5.99/mo if you go past that. You can also paste in your own Anthropic API key and pay them directly instead of me, which is admittedly a strange thing to build a button for, but it felt wrong not to.
[www.veritype.app\](http://www.veritype.app)
I'd genuinely rather have the criticism than the upvotes — especially if you hit an article where the read is just flatly wrong. Those are the ones I can actually do something with. SERIOUSLY, this is my first real release so go ahead and give me some feedback. Ideas for features are welcome as well. This is pretty niche, and I know it. If you read this far, thanks!!

I built a native Mac RSS reader that lives inside a desktop companion
Reply sourceHi — I’m the developer of AI Coach.
AI Coach started as a native macOS desktop companion, but its RSS reader has become one of the most practical parts of the app.
It supports RSS 2.0 and Atom, feed discovery from regular website URLs, OPML import/export, unread and starred smart feeds, search, a local article cache, and Vim-style j/k navigation. The default view is a visual “latest picks” layout rather than a traditional inbox-only list.
The unusual part is how it connects to the desktop character: you can drag a website URL onto the character to subscribe, and it can present new articles in a speech bubble, summarize them, or add a short reaction. Article speech, summaries, and reactions can all be disabled independently, so it also works as a quiet conventional reader.
The app itself is free and includes one egg. There is no subscription; only additional eggs are optional one-time purchases.
One important detail: the app begins with an egg, and the RSS reader is unlocked as the character grows. The current Mac release requires macOS 26 or later and Apple Silicon.
Screenshots and details:
I’d especially appreciate feedback from people who already use OPML and keyboard-driven RSS workflows.

Social feeds pushed me to RSS. Then the unranked timeline pushed me to build a reader with an algorithm I control.
Reply sourceHey everyone, 👋
I left the big social feeds because the recommendation algorithm kept serving me the same thing many times over, plus a steady supply of outright garbage. So I did what a lot of you did: went to RSS, where I pick the sources.
That fixed the inputs. It did not fix the reading.
Once you are past thirty or forty feeds, a purely chronological timeline stops being usable. The usual answer is more folders and more filters — which is me doing an algorithm's job by hand, badly.
Sitting with that for a while, the conclusion I reached was that the algorithm is a fixable problem now, for a reason that did not exist a few years ago: you can hand an AI a sentence about what you want and have it come out as a real change to a ranking function.
So: your own sources, and your own algorithm on top of them. That is the thing I built.
What it does
- Retune the ranking by saying it: "less crypto", or "more AI research". Tell your feed what matters. It re-ranks on the spot. Use AI agents to retune ranking in plain language.
- The ranking core is open: MIT, zero dependencies, at https://github.com/Feedpik-app/Algorithm The server imports that package directly, so the scoring you'd be subject to is the scoring you can read.
- AI helps you find feeds. Cold start is the other thing that keeps RSS niche. Ask for sources on a subject and it proposes them.
- Your own agent (Openclaw, Hermes, Codex, Claude Code, etc.) can drive all of it over an API, MCP or CLI, using your model quota rather than mine.
Other useful features
- Newsletter Reader — An email address just for newsletters, so they leave your inbox and sit with your feeds.
- Daily Briefing — A summary of each story that mattered today.
- Trending Radar — Surfaces the stories heating up.
- AI Summary — Get the gist of a long piece in seconds
- AI Translate — Read anything in your own language
- AI Explain — What an article is about and why it matters, in plain language, when the field is new to you
- Ask AI — Ask questions about the piece you're reading and get answers drawn from it.
The awkward parts, up front
- The app by now is closed source and hosted. * Where it's headed is a desktop version that runs entirely on your machine — your data, your algorithm, your API key or a local LLM — open source and free. It does not exist yet, and it comes after the hosted version.
- A lot of this isn't finished. The paid tiers aren't open yet, which means the features behind them aren't available yet. Finishing them is what I'm working on.
You can check it out here:

[Help needed] Social Media Aggregator?
Reply sourceAs I'm trying to escape the creeping negative influence of technology in my life, I want to make a commitment to limiting the amount of time I spend on social media apps, especially the awful invention that is "infinite scroll".
I believe fighting the addiction to my phone would be a *lot* easier if I could simply combine all of my followed profiles on YouTube, Instagram, and Reddit into *one feed* which is chronological and doesn't insist on feeding me garbage I didnt ask for.
However, it seems like doing so is difficult, because big tech companies deliberately make it impossible to view content outside of their walled garden.
I would love if someone could provide pointers for how a dumbass like me can synthesize all of the content I find interesting in one place. I am willing to try any solution, no matter how hacky, to make it happen. (I am on Android if that's relevant.)
Any tips are appreciated 🙏🙏

Getting full articles from Hacker News RSS
Reply sourceI recently started using RSS and self hosted FreshRSS, and I’m really liking it so far.
One thing I’m trying to figure out is Hacker News. When I add it to FreshRSS, it only shows the original source link instead of the actual news or article content.
Is there any way to get the news content directly in FreshRSS without having to open the original links every time?
Any tips or recommended setup?
EDIT: The same thing is happening with Phoronix. It’s showing the title and short description instead of the full article.

RadarRSS Update: Improved AI curation, refined UI, and new features based on your feedback!
Reply sourceHey r/rss!
A few days ago, I posted here introducing RadarRSS—an open-source, AI-curated modern news dashboard aimed at reimagining how we consume RSS feeds.
Thanks to the valuable feedback and discussion on my previous post, I just pushed a new release with several improvements to make the experience cleaner, faster, and more practical:
Refined Dashboard UI: Polished the feed layout to minimize clutter and give a true "modern newsroom" feel instead of a plain feed list.
Smarter AI Curation & Summaries: Fine-tuned the AI categorization and summarization layer to highlight key takeaways faster and reduce redundant articles.
Better Feed Organization: Enhanced auto-tagging and filtering so you can easily track high-priority topics across multiple feeds.
Performance & Stability Tweaks: Optimized feed fetching and overall responsiveness.
The goal is still to build a lightweight, open-source alternative for anyone looking for something more dynamic than traditional readers like FreshRSS, Miniflux, or Feedly.
🔗 Release & Source Code: https://github.com/dznass-cmd/RadarRSS
Would love to hear your thoughts on these updates—especially regarding the layout and AI curation flow. Any suggestions on what to tackle next?

I built an open-source RSS news dashboard with AI-powered curation
Reply sourceI've always liked RSS, but I wanted something that felt more like a modern news dashboard instead of a traditional feed reader.
So I built RadarRSS.
The idea is simple:
- Monitor multiple RSS feeds
- Automatically organize news into categories
- Highlight relevant stories
- Use AI to help summarize and curate content
- Keep everything centralized in one interface
- Open source under MIT
It's still an early project, so I'm mainly looking for feedback.
What I'd really like to know:
What would make you actually switch from FreshRSS, Miniflux, Newsboat, Feedly, etc.?

I'd especially appreciate criticism about the UI, RSS workflow and AI features.

Local-only RSS reader for Chrome — no account, no server, OPML import
Reply sourceI wanted an RSS reader that didn't turn my reading list into someone's dataset. Most Chrome extensions want an account and sync your subscriptions to their servers, so I built my own.
Canopy Reader has no backend at all. Feeds and read state live in chrome.storage, and the extension makes exactly one kind of network request — to the feeds you added yourself. No account, no analytics, no paid tier. About 50 KB.
Three-panel layout, RSS 2.0 and Atom, feed autodiscovery from a site URL, folders, OPML import/export, unread badges, background refresh, j/k/r/m/u/o keyboard nav, light/dark.
What it doesn't have: a filtering rules engine, social/YouTube feed adapters, or cross-device sync (that needs a server, which defeats the point).
Coming from another reader — import your OPML and subscriptions and folders come across in one step.
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/canopy-reader-rss-feed-re/lnfnfpjiohnjlmagagpokbadejelnflg

I built a web RSS reader that turns feeds and topics into one continuous audio briefing
Reply sourceI have been working on PressPlayed, a mobile-first RSS reader built for listening instead of scanning.
You can select publishers you already trust and group their feeds into briefings. If the subject matters more than the publisher, you can also enter something like “housing market” or “Fed interest rates”; PressPlayed finds relevant current coverage across sources and builds the briefing. Articles are extracted server-side and narrated continuously in the browser.
It also supports a narrator choice, language filtering, a minimum article length, played-article skipping, and muted words or phrases.
I would especially value feedback from people who already care about RSS:
- Does the source-versus-briefing model feel intuitive?
- Which portability features matter most to you—OPML import/export, visible raw feed URLs, or something else?
There is a public audio sample and a short mobile tour here: https://pressplayed.com/tour.html?utm_source=reddit-rss&utm_campaign=first100
Access is free and does not require a credit card. I run this account for the product and am happy to answer technical or product questions.

🐊 NewsGator — a self-hosted news aggregator that summarizes, translates, and groups your articles by event (FastAPI + SvelteKit + SQLite, Docker, local LLM recommended)
Reply sourceHey everyone,
I've been working on NewsGator, an open-source project I'd like to share with you.
The problem
You follow 50 RSS feeds in 5 different languages, get 12 newsletters a day, and end up reading nothing because sorting through it all takes too much time. Traditional aggregators give you 3-line teasers, you click through, find 10 articles about the same thing, and you've wasted 20 minutes.
What NewsGator does
- Ingests your RSS/ATOM feeds and keeps everything, even after restart;
- Fetches full article content — not just the teaser, the actual text with images;
- Summarizes and generates an honest title in your language, regardless of the source language;
- Groups articles by event: 10 articles about the same story = 1 "Story" with a summary that evolves as new facts come in;
- Swipe interface on mobile (installable PWA);
- Transparency dashboard: token cost and LLM latency visible in real time.
Stack: FastAPI + SQLite (+ sqlite-vec or Qdrant) + SvelteKit, single
docker compose.> 🔗 Demo & docs: https://tekka90.github.io/NewsGator/
> 🔗 GitHub: https://github.com/Tekka90/NewsGator⚠️ Warning: this project uses AI
I want to be upfront about this:
- Summaries can be wrong or biased. An LLM is not a source of truth. NewsGator is a triage tool, not an information source. You trust the summary to decide whether it's worth digging into, then you verify at the source.
- I strongly recommend running the LLM locally. NewsGator is provider-agnostic: any OpenAI-compatible LLM works — Ollama, llama.cpp, LM Studio, MLX, or a paid API if you prefer. But ideally, run a model locally. No leaking your reading habits, no recurring costs, no dependency on an external service.
- A small local model is enough for summarizing articles — you don't need a giant model.
- If you do go with a paid API, everything is measured (tokens + latency per call) with a "price playground" to estimate costs.
The project is open source — feel free to ask questions, share feedback, or contribute.

RSS Bulucu - A modern Chrome extension to quickly find hidden or open RSS/Atom feeds on any website
Reply sourceHi everyone,
I wanted to share a Chrome extension I recently developed called RSS Bulucu (RSS Finder).
It is designed to be a lightweight, modern, and powerful tool that automatically scans the website you are visiting to discover any open or hidden RSS and Atom feeds within seconds.
Key Features:
- Smart Scanning: Instantly detects all available feeds on the current page.
- Lightweight: Only 61.3 KiB in size, so it won't bloat your browser.
- Privacy-focused: No data is sold to third parties or used for unrelated purposes.
The extension currently supports Turkish, but the UI is highly intuitive and easy to use for anyone looking to hunt down feed URLs.
You can check it out here on the Chrome Web Store:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/rss-bulucu/icjlhipjnfkdngpinmakhkcnfjnjdhbi?hl=trI would love to get your feedback, feature suggestions, or any bug reports! Thank you for checking it out.

How do you handle geotargeted news aggregation for a global UI on a $0 budget?
Reply sourceI'm building an interactive macroeconomic world map. I've hit a dead end with raw web scraping, Google News search parameters (which fail to isolate country context), and GDELT.
submitted by /u/kyarash132
I need to surface 3–5 fresh macro/econ headlines when a user clicks a country. Since commercial APIs are expensive and client-side RSS is unreliable:
1 - Is caching pre-fetched direct national RSS feeds (WSJ, BBC, Reuters) via a daily cron job the standard pattern here?
2 - Are there open-source scrapers or self-hosted news aggregation pipelines (like FreshRSS/Miniflux setups) that handle geographic mapping cleanly?
Idk what to do anymore at this stage, any ideas?

Looking for RSS users to help test a new Android RSS reader
Reply sourceHi everyone,
I’m getting ready to launch a new RSS reader on Google Play, and I’m looking for a few RSS users who would be willing to join the closed testing group and try the app on their Android phones, tablets, or Chromebooks.
Google Play requires a closed testing period before the app can move forward with its public release, so your help would be genuinely appreciated.
The app will be paid when it is publicly released, but I plan to give complimentary access to the people who help by participating in this testing group.
If you’d like to join, please send me your Google Play email address via private message so I can add you to the tester list. Please don’t post your email publicly in the comments.
Once you’ve been added, I’ll send you a private message with the Google Play testing link and simple instructions on how to install the app.
You don’t need to do anything complicated. Just using the app normally and letting me know if you encounter bugs, crashes, layout issues, or anything that feels confusing would already be a huge help.
Thanks to anyone willing to participate!

A genuine no-AI problem RSS needs solving (+ giveaway)
Reply sourceI genuinely think RSS is more relevant than ever in 2026.
There’s so much content online now, and RSS is still one of the few ways to say: these are the people and websites I actually want to hear from.
No algorithm trying to guess what else might keep me scrolling. If I follow soccer, I want soccer - not hockey, random influencers, or whatever else an algorithm wants to test on me.
I use RSS every day for work, hobbies, and keeping up with writers I like. And despite all the AI-generated noise, there are still plenty of people writing genuinely good articles on their own blogs (http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/feeds/pgessays.rss, https://daringfireball.net/feeds/main , https://simonwillison.net/atom/entries/ , https://pluralistic.net/feed/) among many others.
The one thing that always bothered me: if someone I care about publishes something, I usually won’t know until I remember to check my RSS app.
That’s basically why I built Hushread.
It keeps checking the sources you follow even while you’re asleep. Under the hood, I run a VPS with proxies that keeps polling the pages you follow. The moment it finds something new, if you’ve turned notifications on for that source, you get a push notification.
That’s it. No big AI pitch, no fluff. This was genuinely the problem I wanted solved for myself.
I’d love more actual RSS users to try it, so I’m giving away 50 Pro accounts ($14.99/year) to people who comment here.
No review or 5-star rating needed. I’d much rather hear what you genuinely like or hate about it.

I just rolled out an update with features specifically tailored for RSS power users and wanted to share it with the community.
Core Features & What's New:
- 📥 OPML Support: 1-tap OPML import/export for seamless feed backup & instant article pre-fetch.
- 🎙️ Podcasts & TTS: Full iTunes podcast artwork integration, in-app audio player, and TTS audio playback for hands-free listening.
- 🛡️ Anti-Bot Fallback: Direct "Open in Browser" mode for feeds protected by Cloudflare/anti-bot walls.
- 📖 Customizable Reader: In-article font choices, reader themes (Material 3 / Dark Mode), and full browser display options.
- ⏱️ 2-Minute Smart Briefings: Concise, curated digests to stay updated quickly without doomscrolling.
- 🌍 Expanded Coverage: Added curated regional feeds for Mexico, Bosnia, Estonia, Finland, N. Macedonia, Andorra & Luxembourg alongside existing global sources.
- 👥 Community Feeds: Integrated user-suggested blogs and tech sources.
- 📱 Offline & Widgets: Cache-first architecture for fast offline access and home screen widgets.
- 🌟 PRO Tier: Auto purchase sync across devices, PRO badge, and an entirely ad-free reading experience.
👉 Get it on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.merpower.worldnewsreader
I'd love to hear your feedback, feed recommendations, or ideas on what RSS-specific tools you'd like to see next. If you'd like to follow the roadmap or suggest feeds directly, feel free to drop by r/MerpowerApps.
If you find the app useful, an honest rating or review on Google Play really helps support continuous solo development!

[Self-hosted] WechRss — bring WeChat Official Accounts into your RSS reader
Reply sourceI built WechRss because WeChat OA has no official RSS. It identifies the account from any article link, logs in via Weread QR, and generates independent RSS feeds stored in local SQLite. Default bind is localhost, supports Basic Auth/CSRF. Doesn't scrape full text. MIT. Repo: https://github.com/johamwon/wechrss

I made an RSS reader that also writes. Your posts live in your own repo.
Reply sourceI made Nook, a native RSS reader for Mac and iPhone. It also writes.
The reading half is boring in the best way: folders, OPML in and out, offline storage, reader mode, regex keyword filters, refreshes on the OS scheduler instead of a push service.
I invented nothing here, I just kept adding whatever annoyed me that week. No account, and nothing about reading phones home.The writing half is the interesting part. Publish a post and it becomes a record in your own AT Protocol repository, the same kind a Bluesky account has.
The page and the feeds are generated from that record, which is the real copy rather than a row in my database, so you can take it and leave. Microblog, normal blog, or yelling into the void with a valid feed, all fine.You will check the feed anyway, so: full post in content:encoded, guid is the record's AT URI with isPermaLink="false", Atom beside every RSS.
Mine: https://nooker.app/@tim/feed.xml"Will this be gone in six months?" Fair question. I read with it every day, so my reason to keep it alive is selfish, and I run it cheap on purpose. Whatever it does today, I plan to keep doing. If the bill ever gets scary, it means I either got greedy with features or this got popular, and if it is the second one I will gladly go find the money.
Reading is free, no ads, no subscription. Publishing needs an invite code for now and there is an open one on the download page. Needs macOS 26 or iOS 18, and on an older Mac with Apple silicon the iOS build works too.
Download: https://www.nooker.app/download/
Apps are MIT: https://github.com/nooker-app/nookTell me what is broken, especially in the feeds.

I put an RSS reader directly into my Chrome new tab
Reply sourceI wanted to follow RSS feeds without opening another website every time.
So I added an RSS/Atom reader directly into my Chrome new-tab workspace.
The idea is that your new tab can become a small information dashboard instead of just a search box.
You can have:
RSS/Atom feeds
Bookmarks
Notes
Tasks
Pomodoro
Search
WorkspacesThe extension is ARC Tab, and the core workspace is local-first with no account, backend, analytics or telemetry.
The RSS reader is currently one of my favourite parts because I can open a new tab and immediately see the feeds I actually care about.
Curious what RSS workflows other people use.

Aggregating the aggregators

https://paul.tinypost.blog/aggregating-the-aggregatorsI’ve updated my feedland page with 13 aggregator and firehose feeds from Bear Blog, Pinboard, Scour, Hacker News and others.
A good way to use these is to put them all in one folder in your reader and filter for keywords based on your interests.

Leggo: A free iOS/iPadOS RSS & JSON feed reader with background refresh and native iCloud sync
Reply sourceHi everyone,
For anyone looking for a simple, native feed reader on iOS that respects open standards and data ownership, I made Leggo.
It's standard-friendly:
- Supports RSS, Atom, and JSON Feeds: Parses links directly with a live feed preview before adding.
- Data Portability: Full JSON export and import so you are never locked into the app.
- Native iCloud Sync: Seamlessly keeps subscriptions and read/unread status synchronized between iPhone and iPad without requiring a third-party aggregator service (like Feedly or Inoreader).
- Background Refresh: Quietly fetches articles in the background so your feeds are ready when you open the app.
It’s completely free on the App Store without ads or tracking.
You can check out screenshots and details here: https://leggo-rss.fizban.net/
Suggestions and feature requests are very welcome!

Built an Android app that follows YouTube channels via RSS instead of the API
Reply sourceWanted to share this here since it's a fairly literal use of RSS: YouTube still exposes a per-channel RSS feed even though it's not advertised anywhere. My app (Focus Feed) uses those feeds to pull new uploads instead of going through YouTube's API or algorithm — so you just get a plain chronological list of what channels you follow have posted, no recommendations, no autoplay.
It also supports per-channel keyword filters on the RSS titles, and you can pull a whole playlist's feed in at once. No account or sign-in needed, it's just consuming public feeds.
Curious if anyone here has run into limitations with YouTube's RSS feeds (delay before new uploads show up, missing metadata, etc) — happy to compare notes.
