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 &quot;small web search&quot; bookmark folder.

I like this idea a lot but this specific project is done pretty badly. There&#x27;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&#x27;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 &quot;espresso machine&quot; 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.

That&#x27;s nice. Will it start crawling for new feeds or they will be manually curated?

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&#x2F;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?

Fantastic, great idea! The amount of job offers when searching for &#x27;software engineering&#x27; is a bit annoying, though.

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&#x2F;Google News and are fairly low quality.

&gt; 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?

so far a few searches haven&#x27;t shown one relevant result, and a lot of strange spam
