  Good shout,I love hnrss. I used it (and similar projects) for several years before creating my own solution that would also include parsed article content, summaries, and comments into the RSS feed itself, as well as limiting the feed to a specified number of posts per day. There’s a bit of overlap between projects, but each has things the other does not. I invite you to try this one to see if it might suit your needs.

  Appreciate it! In hindsight I should have put info about the top posts part of this in the title. I think most people don’t read past the titles of posts.

  Thanks! Hope it works out for your use case.

  Thanks! I think the child comments idea is pretty doable. I’ll add it to the pile of things I’d like to add :)

  Each of the platforms supported by this project exposes their own RSS feeds. Which is great!

  My main motivation for creating this is that I prefer to interact with social aggregation websites in a low-volume way, so I let Upvote RSS surface only the most popular posts for those communities in my RSS reader of choice. I usually use the averagePostsPerDay filter so I can expect a certain amount of posts in my feeds per day; for popular communities that have hundreds of posts per day (news or whatever) I’ll set it to something like 3 so that I see only the top 3 most upvoted posts per day.

  On top of the score filtering, this project includes much more in the RSS than comes by default from these platforms:

  • Embedded post media: videos, galleries, images
  • Parsers to extract and embed article content and add featured images when the link is to a webpage
  • AI article summaries based on the parsed webpage content
  • Estimated reading time, score, and permalinks to the original post
  • Top comments (this is one of the features I find most useful)
