Hi, just thought i’d share some of my favourite rss related tools and apps. All free and non-technical to use.

Good for making feeds from simple web pages that haven’t got one

Two tools for generating feeds for sites that haven’t got one. They don’t claim to be perfect but worth a go

There might be a small overlap between people who want to manually update their feed but don’t want to write the code but if that’s you then i’ve got the tool for you

What are your favourite rss tools?
Thank you for this list! I've been trying to build up my rss collection and you just solved every single one of my hangups.
I don't have anything to add but I'm happy this post exists.
nice! i worked a while back on a tool to take rss feeds and turn them into a pdf newspaper because i liked reading in that form. i should pick that project back up.
My favorite tool is rss2email (and similar tools that provide the same functionality). The idea is to fold RSS feeds into your email workflow. This way RSS feed items are just email messages under their tags/labels, no dedicated RSS client to worry about. This makes sense if you are comfortable and happy with your email workflow.
I also have a small CLI utility to quickly dump a feed to stdout in a human friendly format. I need to clean up and publish this sometime but I am sure there are many other similar tools out there already.
