Bespoke software, and a really simple RSS aggregator

I have to admit (with a bit of shame, as a Free Software fan) that most of the software I write on a personal basis is like this: bespoke &amp; unpublished. It&#x27;s just too damn work for what I expect to be a pretty small audience.<p>For example, I have a small cron script that emails me today&#x27;s showtimes for my local film museum (which shows old films on a large screen) along with the predicted score from Criticker.<p>It would be cool if there was some very easy way (I&#x27;m lazy!) of letting a non-techie benefit from this, without me having to deal with a publicly available server, storing their Criticker credentials, etc.<p>I guess the easiest way would be a Chrome extension, but I&#x27;m not a fan of the whole app store part, plus I don&#x27;t want to have to rewrite in JS. And that still leaves mobile users in the cold, which is dumb.

Oh neat! Coincidental timing for me too seeing this as I&#x27;m procrastinating finishing up my own similar thing but built on totally different infrastructure (Ruby, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, so far..) and for a different set of feeds (several hundred tech engineering blogs). GitHub Actions is something I did consider, but I&#x27;m trying to go AWS for everything recently to learn the ecosystem more. (The initial results of my own experiment are at <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;engblogs.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com&#x2F;index.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;engblogs.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com&#x2F;index.html</a> but it&#x27;s going to become a &#x27;proper&#x27; site as part of the next step.)

Nice domain name, it&#x27;s your last name, but I had assumed it was a company that did some kind of routing :)

Nice idea, but it feels like this itself should produce an RSS feed so that others can benefit from your collection - for the same reason you yourself use RSS.

Here&#x27;s another barebones reader from 2018: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;leancrew.com&#x2F;all-this&#x2F;2018&#x2F;02&#x2F;my-feed-reading-system&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;leancrew.com&#x2F;all-this&#x2F;2018&#x2F;02&#x2F;my-feed-reading-system...</a>

Thrilled to see this, and I already forked and am using it. This is exactly what I&#x27;ve been looking for.
