but does this filter out the rss feeds that are just a headline and then a "click here to read the whole story" link?
that's what killed rss it wasn't google reader going away, it was the ad-weaponizing of the feeds themselves
Someone compiled this a while ago which is a pretty good starter list for content discovery: https://github.com/outcoldman/hackernews-personal-blogs
I've imported most of them into https://app.recessfeed.com/ and found some nice ones to follow through that
I really like the idea of feed/entry search but it seems to not return very relevant results... if I search for "software defined radio" with or without quotes I get lots of results that don't have those terms in them
> If you put your 10 favourite blogs in there, it'll search just those blogs...
10 feeds will not give you much recall. I have 50K+ feeds, 1M+ posts, and it just starts to give somewhat respectable results.
If you'd like to read RSS in you new tab: https://tabhub.github.io/
This is a cool idea.
When I search for "history" it returned only technical articles, and heavily favored dan luus website.
Are technical blogs the primary focus?
've been thinking that I needed one of these, but you've already made it happen. That's really great.
Tangentially on this note, if anyone is interested, I can produce a list of every RSS feed known to the marginalia search crawler. It's a pretty noisy list, but any thing I can do to help the spread, discovery and adoption of RSS I'm happy to help with so just let me know.
I a tool in place to export this data to help power the experimental RSS preview feature[1], but haven't had the inspiration to do much with that yet.
[1] e.g. https://search.marginalia.nu/site/jvns.ca
--edit-- Ok so there was interest. Give me a moment, I'll need to run an extraction script. Check back in a few hours or bookmark https://downloads.marginalia.nu/exports/
Nice! I was thinking about the same kind of tool a while back, and developed a community-based curated feed reader with full-text search. It's not public yet (sign ups are behind an invitation code), but search works for guests: https://minifeed.net/global
You can find many RSS feeds, links in my repository
https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database/tree/ma...
It contains also domain lists, that include tag indicating, if it is personal, or not.
Great to it’s hosted on a free software forge too not locking in contributions!
Not sure I always agree that feeds should have the full post tho. This not only (obviously) bloats the size of the feed, but there are valid reasons to want to drive users to your site--especially if you have demos or you write about code & have your code blocks syntax highlighted (statically, never do this with a JavaScript) as it provides a better reading experience. You can put styling technically in Atom/RSS but even then, a lot of readers won’t be applying the styling. That said, I definitely appreciate the full post if your site is full of trackers, ads, marketing garbage or other bloat since I can skip the site. Is this some site engineers giving us the nod on a better UX? I read a gridiron football news site & boy does that feed become take a site from unusable to pleasant (good photography).

I wonder when RSS will experience its "Google Search in 1997" moment? Right now it's beginning to nibble at Yahoo Directory days

I really like the idea! At some point I put up a miniflux instance and it has surprisingly been a breath of fresh air for my content consumption. What miniflux and my setup lacks is a way to retrieve stuff I read and this OpenOrb might fit the use case... I will try it out!
