Funny to read this from my RSS reader. Happy to see RSS catching back on!

See also: the builtin HN RSS feed at https://news.ycombinator.com/rss

And also the RSSHub capabilities here: https://docs.rsshub.app/en/programming.html#hacker-news

I've been subscribed to news.ycombinator.com/rss for a few years, but (more often lately) I have noticed that it does not update frequently, and many stories that have appeared on the desktop site (not "new", but on the front page) do not appear in the feed.

I will give https://hnrss.org/frontpage a try.

HN also frequently changes post titles and these show up as different articles on my RSS reader. I think RSS allows specifying a unique feed item id so this can be avoided but HN doesn't set it.

If Google reader had never existed, I feel like RSS could have become the foundation of the modern web.

It honestly amazing we had e-mail before the messes of today. Otherwise we'd be stuck with a dozen different "mail" apps.

Not familiar with google reader and its impact on rss. Could you explain? Thanks

I tried many times to use rss but found the ecosystem to be terrible.

Care to elaborate? Why an existence of a popular RSS reader has to do with preventing a protocol it is using from being more recognized?

Hey everybody, hnrss maintainer here.

Just FYI, I’ve recently added a (what else?) RSS feed for hnrss if you want to stay updated: https://hnrss.github.io/updates.xml

If you're using hnrss in interesting ways I'd love to hear about it! Reply below.

I have GitHub Student Pack and Mailgun gives a generous free tier.

I've plugged RSS2EMAIL into Mailgun via a script on my server that emails me stories that match my criteria.

I have also written a script that pushes a custom notification to my phone on other criteria.

Thanks so much for this. It’s how I read HN :)

What RSS Readers is everyone using? I have used tiny tiny rss before, but was wondering if there was another alternative

Not exactly a reader, but I use rss2email[0]. It’s pretty easy to setup, has optional HTML/CSS support, and I run a cron job to pull feeds daily. I like being able to browse through articles wherever I can get email without having to rely on a separate, proprietary service or self-hosting.

NetNewsWire for macOS/iOS[0]. It was the best RSS reader for Mac OS X in the far past and they have now revived it and made it open source. I particularly like that you can sync feeds via iCloud or self-hosted instead of an external service.

I use (and made) https://sumi.news - RSS, newsletter, and Twitter support. No subscription. Clean chronological feed, and a per-feed recent entry view.

Feedly. Does everything that Google Reader did, as far as I can tell.

I use Maubot with an RSS plugin to send new feed entries to Matrix

Oh goodness, haven't added a new feed to my reader in ages. Much obliged!
