Love the idea behind this.<p>Generally any new way of attempting to find signal among the noise of the internet is good, and I think RSS is niche enough to automatically remove a ton of noise from the dataset, and the fact this will mostly target articles and blogs gives it a distinct flavor.<p>Gonna put this with the marginalia astrolabe on my "small web search" bookmark folder.
I like this idea a lot but this specific project is done pretty badly. There's a lot of spam and noise in results, and no real filtering system in place.<p>It would be awesome to create something like this from a massive archive of personal blogs in spaces like tech, development, design, etc. Basically, a massive RSS reader curated by the community itself.
I was very excited by this and it's promising, but it needs a bit more work to be usable. I was hoping the RSS technique would help avoid the SEO and blogspam that Google is now filled with. Unfortunately, I still get quite a bit of that (my query was "espresso machine" and I got a bunch of listicles, etc).<p>I think applying a layer of curation on top would go a long way to fixing this.
Super cool project!<p>I tried solving the search quality problem (for technical content like engineering blogs) a while back by filtering using heuristics based on websites/urls. At one point I was experimenting with RSS, but found that many websites only show the past X number of entries and gave up that direction since it excluded too much content.<p>Are you seeing a similar problem now?
The major problem is the selection of the RSS feeds. If you look at the list of feeds you see a lot of traditional news feeds like CNN or New York Post. These are well covered in Google/Google News and are fairly low quality.
> At the moment is not possible to add source Feed if you have feed proposals open an issue with the URLs to add<p>What are the long-term plans for this? Building a crawler? Or just manual curation?
