Glad to see people still making new ways to absorb via rss - I still feel it's the best method for getting news and things, and the more options we have to show others how they can be used - maybe the better.

Wonder if anyone has made a self-hosted way to create a 'my.yahoo' or netvibes , pageflakes kind of page with rss feeds?

I started to put together some plugins for wordpress/buddpress to allow people to make something like that for their own, but got bogged down and never tried to mash it all together yet.

Anyone have a browser extension that can find rss feeds for pages?

I long for the days of yesteryears where yahoo news searches had an rss button or link to copy right there - and discovering rss on news portals and elsewhere was easier not hidden.

I wrote/use this greasemonkey script - https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/6261-rss-atom-feed-subscri... - it still mostly works but strict CSP on sites these days has been causing some trouble. Maybe turning it into a browser extension is the thing to do.

I was looking for something like that for a long time after all the browsers kinda removed that functionality. I'm not using the following for Safari and it's great:
