Progressive JPEG posted:miniflux and reeder both do that too, i think it just scrapes what it thinks the main content is. sorta surprising how well it works nice! it's a cool feature and made a bunch of site more palatable

i'm reviving this dead rear end thread because i just spent the better part of two hours getting pissed what i want: my rss feeds digested down into a .mobi file and delivered to my kindle every morning. has anyone managed to accomplish that in a nonshit way? every solution i tried so far has been its unique flavour of lovely. special mentions go to the fetch news function in calibre which scales up every image, including icons, so that they take up an entire goddamn page

instead of going to a news website or blog to be bombarded with ads and lovely web designs you subscribe to their “rss feed” using an app that displays the content in a text only format. if you frequently check a lot of different sources, it’s handy to have everything in one place rather than having to individually visit a whole bunch of websites

mediaphage posted:you can put ads in rss feeds too or truncate articles so readers have to go to the full site 😑 some feed apps support readability mode that pulls the full site, hiding ads, so the site gets a little ad load as a treat and the reader doesn't see it

at some point I had a python running in ~the cloud~ that pulled a selection of articles from a bunch of sites, sent them to my pocket account which was synced to my kobo, rotated daily. Iirc reliably scrapping non rss websites to find content was a headache and I stopped.

scraping to rss is a classic case of, we want normies to go to the site and generate ad dollars, but I am happy to find a way around it myself is it like being a landlord??

many if not most of the larger cms platforms all support it so it’s often just a default thing that website owners may or may not mess with

it certainly was my last memories of rss before google reader shut down: more and more feeds went either dead or started serving up a clickbait title and nothing else.
