RSS reader example

[srid]

Take OPML as a part of model and create a website that displays the latest items in the feeds ... all neatly organized, with per-day routes.

The other part of model would be a record of last-updated time, and the fetched items. We will need to cache this data on disk, so as to be able to resume from it when relaunching the app.

https://lobste.rs/s/sywgaz/arss_rss_reader_doesn_t_try_do_too_much <- has a backend, however.

This could as well support data sources other than RSS (like slownews), such as reddit, HN & lobste.rs. Or even a custom source like r/TheMotte's CW barelinks repo.

Feedly has a similar model: you can add .rss feeds, but also data from established sources (Twitter, reddit, etc.)

Leverage .org format and do it as part of orgself? cf. https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-feed.html

Flat Data is a GitHub action which makes it easy to fetch data and commit it to your repository as flatfiles. The action is intended to be run on a schedule, retrieving data from any supported target and creating a commit if there is any change to the fetched data.

Not RSS per se, but https://github.com/srid/TheMotteDashboard uses Ema and it reads reddit and generates static pages, as well as generates a Atom feed of its timeline.
