I Still Use RSS

Same here, RSS is the center of all my internet content consumption. How else could one keep track of things? There isn't any substitute.

I get HN via RSS but didn't know about the replies feed, cool!

I use rss2email to turn everything into effectively a mailing list, so convenient.

Very sad that craigslist broke their RSS feed a few months ago, so I can no longer shop for anything advertised there for sale.

Using rss2email crossed my mind a few times since I already spend most of my day in the terminal anyway, but it always end up being left for tomorrow.

I should take a look at it tomorrow.

I run a paid email forwarding service that allows you to redirect mail sent to a burner address to be published as an RSS feed. Link in my bio if you're interested.

With very rare exceptions[1], I prefer to self-host everything I use and pay a licence fee instead. If that is an option, let me know.

I feel like I’m plugging huginn all over this thread but they have a phantomjs agent that makes it fairly straightforward to scrape a Craigslist search
