Ask HN: OSS to manage categorised and tagged links and search

7 pointsrayascott1 comment

I have an OPML file of RSS feeds and want to create a website that will categorize and tag the pages in the RSS feeds. The idea is to create a searchable & explorable minisite for a topic that others will find helpful. Anyone know anything out there like this that’s open source?

You can use a combination of open source projects. For example, you can use an OPML parser library like Listparser[0] to get the contents of the pages.

Then, you can index them into a search engine of sorts. You can use Elasticsearch[1] for that, or if you want to try something that's much simpler that I have been working on, try Typesense[2].

Finally, you can use Flask[3] to create a simple website/frontend for integrating with the search engine.
