Hacker News Reader

Nice job! I love the UI.

For hackers who want to find the best open sourced tools to work/parse news data (disclaimer: I'm a creator to some of those):

1. PyGoogleNews [1] -- If Google News had a Python library

2. NewsCatcher [2] -- Programmatically collect normalized news from (almost) any website

3. NewsPaper3k [3] -- Article scraping & curation

4. Mercury Parser [4] -- Extracting content from chaos

thanks and congratulations to you too for your work

It would be great to have a place to discover new feed, so it's a great idea. I think the search weights need some tweaking though.

If I'm searching for "technology" I'd expect blogs that are about technology not some StackOverflow or Github jobs:

Yes I am trying to improve the search algorithm. Stay tuned!

I was actually looking for something like this quite recently. I was looking for an article on a blog I follow, but couldn't remember which blog it was. If I could paste in the list of feeds I subscribe to and then search within those posts, I think that would work.

I wonder if you'd provide a way to give it a list of RSS feeds and search within the given list?

The best RSS Search experience, but not on mobile!

Also, I just searched for cryptography, 90% of the results are job ads - is that usual?

Edit: Sorry, I realise I sound a bit caustic, but on mobile I couldn't even see the full search bar and the "Made by..." jumps up when the keyboard is open. The results look fine!

you are right, i'm working on it right now. Unfortunately I'm not very good with CSS :D

Cool idea! Would be a great feature if you could have an account and make it just index the blogs you read.

thanks for the feedback

that would be awesome

hello take a look at my latest open source side project. Here you can find the code https://github.com/davidesantangelo/dato.rss

you can also try the RESTful API. Docs at https://github.com/davidesantangelo/dato.rss/wiki

This is cool! With new feeds added in the future, I can imagine searching on such a tool instead of Google or Duckduckgo, especially for technical topics :)

soon there will be the possibility for the user to add the feeds he wants

'Dators' in latvian means 'computer'.

wow :D did not know

It would be cool if the service would have a rss crawler which searches the web for rss feeds and automatically adds this to the database.

yes thanks for the feedback but is not the purpose of the project. The idea is that the user will add the feeds to be imported. I will release this feature shortly

Hey! Do you think this can somehow be integrated with my rss-based social network? www.kalaksi.com :)

i will take a look

Where do you get the base set of RSS feeds? I couldn't find that in the README.

https://github.com/davidesantangelo/dato.rss/wiki/Feed

are the feeds I find on the net that I add via the API but that only I can use at the moment.

Would you accept recommendations for other feeds? If yes, where would one post them?

yes open an issue on GitHub https://github.com/davidesantangelo/dato.rss/issues

if you like the project support me with a star :)

https://github.com/davidesantangelo/dato.rss

hello from now there is the possibility to add your own feeds to the import. Let me know
