A comment on Show HN: Open database of link metadata for large-scale analysis.
The project maintains a structured dataset of links enriched with metadata such as:
- page title
- description / summary
- publication date (when available)
- thumbnail / preview image
- etc.
The goal is to provide a reusable, inspectable set of link metadata that can be used for experiments in areas such as:
- RSS and feed analysis
- news analysis
- link rot analysis?
The database is publicly available here:
https://github.com/rumca-js/RSS-Link-Database-2025
There are also databases for previous years
