Show HN: We buit this in 4 hours on the local hackathon

[struppi]

Very cool, especially for a 4-hour-project! And it works really well. I just don't know what I should use it for...

Imagining that your RSS client does not support filtering or rules, you can use these to get the filtering performed directly on the server. Can be convenient.

Someone make this for twitter please! A big problem with twitter is that most active users use it for everything from communicating with their significant other to sharing industry news. In most cases, I am only interested in the industry news-related posts when I follow someone and yet, over 50% of my twitter feed(no matter how hard I try to filter) is full of random conversations not reflective of my interests. For the longest time I thought the problem was the group of users I was following. So I removed almost everybody and cut it down to under 20 at one point. It didn't help much: my feed remained dominated by mostly random conversations.

As a quick solution, you can combine Sieve with Twitter to RSS (http://www.twittertorss.com/)

Just tried it, really cool tool. I hate subscribing to the feeds of big tech news sites because there are a lot of posts I don't care about. Being able to filter it like this is really useful. And in 4 hours! Good job.

Thanks a lot, glad you liked it. I understand your pain (I was once subscribed to Mashable main feed) :-)

There's a number of existing services (like http://www.feedrinse.com/) but I really wanted to make it as simple as possible (no sign ups, no fancy UI, easy to use and free).

Looks very nice. However, what must be typed in is somewhat unclear. Maybe you could add a small help label or something?

[volpav]

Thanks! I will add some hints as soon as I get to the source :-)

[unwind]

Can someone please fix the submission title, too? They should have time for the missing 'l' in "built", now.

[volpav]

Oops, sorry about that. Can't I edit my own submissions? :-/

[eranation]

Nice, but to make this really useful, you need to change the content type, it's currently text/html and some feed readers don't take it well

[volpav]

Will do, thanks for noticing this.

"Oops, an error occured."

Perhaps another hour on QA wouldn't go amiss...

[moystard]

The description mentions that this has been done in 4 hours, bugs are to be expected. Your message thus just sounds condescending.

[volpav]

Could you post the Id of the feed? Will fix it as soon as I can.
