We used to use Freshmeat.net for this for a really long time, Slashdot moved it over to Sourceforge but then it died in 2014. http://freshmeat.sourceforge.net/

It’s spirit lives on in https://freshcode.club

The RSS feed doesn’t validate so you’d want to browse it with a browser, rather than track it with a feed reader.

Neat! I added the top level RSS [1] to The Old Reader [2] and it pulled up just fine (validation), the title shows up as "xfer" by default but otherwise works fine for this reader.

https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffre... shows there are a few errors.

NewsBlur doesn't complain that anything is wrong, but it will skip specific items that do not validate - so it all looks dandy, but it misses updates.
