I was extremely bummed when setting up RSS for the glance app to find that a bunch of stuff I'd assumed would just have RSS feeds, do not. Mostly local things that post regular updates to pages that already look like feeds.

- Three local independent theaters

- Every local venue I checked in my city (admittedly only checked a few I was specifically interested in)

- The local dvd rental place (we still have one and it's neat. The announce their newer niche additions via an updating page)

- My local folk school that hosts events and has an updated news page with no feed

There were a few things I can't remember now that I was shocked to see regularly update pages with lists of updates that there is no way to subscribe to. I would have expected most of these sites to be built using some kind of automated tool that would just include rss or atom. I guess most of the offer email lists, which is a crappy way to get updates comparatively imo.

I'm probably going to use a combination of changedetection.io and rss-bridge to get updates from these sites, but like, seriously?

You can give notify-me.rs a try if you want as well. We have a free plan available, and we should be able to track all of the sites you mentioned.

If you do give it a try, let me know what you think, since I'm one of the founders.

Cheers!
