Hi, just thought i’d share some of my favourite rss related tools and apps. All free and non-technical to use.

Kill the Newsletter!

FetchRSS

Good for making feeds from simple web pages that haven’t got one

http://fetchrss.com/

RSS Lookup

Finds feeds on pages that have got one

https://www.rsslookup.com/

Two tools for generating feeds for sites that haven’t got one. They don’t claim to be perfect but worth a go

RSS XML Generator

There might be a small overlap between people who want to manually update their feed but don’t want to write the code but if that’s you then i’ve got the tool for you

    Thank you for this list! I’ve been trying to build up my rss collection and you just solved every single one of my hangups.

    I don’t have anything to add but I’m happy this post exists.

      That sounds like a good way of creating newsletters or preparing things for print. Let me know if you publish the tool or code

    My favorite tool is rss2email (and similar tools that provide the same functionality). The idea is to fold RSS feeds into your email workflow. This way RSS feed items are just email messages under their tags/labels, no dedicated RSS client to worry about. This makes sense if you are comfortable and happy with your email workflow.

    I also have a small CLI utility to quickly dump a feed to stdout in a human friendly format. I need to clean up and publish this sometime but I am sure there are many other similar tools out there already.
