Make full content rss feeds when the author only provides a summary.

I love RSS feeds (and ATOM too (and JSONFeed)) but one thing that frustrates me is when a feed doesn’t include all of the content.

https://full-rss.deno.dev/ was created to partially solve this. If there is a feed that you really wish was full-content and isn’t then you can replace that feed with https://full-rss.deno.dev/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdeveloper.chrome.com%2Fstatic%2Fblog%2Ffeed.xml and it will get the 10 most recent posts, scrape the linked page and replace the content with a stripped down version of the full HTML page.

    I have some comic strips in my feed reader and they only provide a very small almost unreadable version of the picture in the feed. All of them have a easy recognizable url for the original version so I wrote a plugin for TinyTinyRSS, which I use as my backend, which replaces the URL of the picture with the one for the full picture. It has been running perfectly for many years.

      TTRSS is such a treasure, it just runs, no drama, no rewriting plugins every major version, no deleting configuration options. It just gets better with every update ❤️

        Yeah, but I got into a argument with the developer, mostly because how they communicate with potential contributors and users ^^. It almost made me look for an alternative but in the end I was just to lazy.

          Imperfect people create perfect things. Some are good at coding, others are good at communicating.
