How come noone has managed to crack the RSS rock yet? Everything has an RSS feed (though it's decreasing). Rss readers have more content than any social network. It seems like you should be able to build something with this that has broad adoption. There has to be something missing.<p>My theory has been for a while that what is missing is publishing. People don't just want to consume, they also want to share what they find and like and what they made themselves. I even started working on a web-based rss-reader/(micro)blogging thing at one point. Maybe I should give that another crack.
I was so happy at seeing telegram, but it requires admin rights to the channel. There is so much content (a lot of it non-english) hidden away in telegram channels that I want to be part of the open web.<p>If someone wants to take it up, it is definitely doable with a telegram user account, but the APIs are not readily usable: <a href="https://github.com/captn3m0/ideas#telegram-to-rss" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/captn3m0/ideas#telegram-to-rss</a><p>Also, if someone is looking to follow lots of GitHub projects using their release feeds, I wrote a OPML generator that uses your Starred repos to generate a OPML file for you: <a href="https://github.com/captn3m0/opml-gen" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/captn3m0/opml-gen</a>

I work on Feed Creator which might be interesting too: <a href="http://createfeed.fivefilters.org" rel="nofollow">http://createfeed.fivefilters.org</a>
I don't understand exactly what this software does. The demo link on the frontpage leads to a welcome page. The site is very uninformative but looks very bloated.
This looks great!<p>* <i>Shameless plug</i> *: Our little startup, Feedity - <a href="https://feedity.com" rel="nofollow">https://feedity.com</a>, helps create custom RSS feeds for any webpage, even social networks (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter), via an online feed builder and REST API.
This python script <a href="https://github.com/h43z/rssify" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/h43z/rssify</a> serves me well to get and RSS feed for websites that don't provide one.
