I use rss-bridge but I notice a lot of the bridges don't work anymore and/or aren't maintained very well. (Especially Facebook / Instagram)

I wish it used a different language than PHP so I could contribute.

That's my main criticism for all this and similar projects. I think we as rss entousiasts should invest our time in a better way than patching rules against a running target. Who knows if those big sites break their markup intentionally just to keep us locked out and absorbed. Support the automated approch [0] it's JavaScript.

Looks very interesting. I dig the automation part of it.
