[FR] Expose Groups as Feeds

Open johnnyvernin opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

What

Dear Friends, it's possible to expose groups as feeds? Example: group name: Testing1, exposed in: https://mysub.mydomain.com/feeds/Testing1/rss or /feed

Inoreader have this solution, but are very expensive in dollars to emmergent countries (like here in Brazil).

Why

Aggregate feeds was great function, but expose the group as new feed in url, can be permit such infinites possibilities, examples: 1 - Can I developer a telegram bot that's consume in python the aggregated group feed and send to me news and links filtered and separated by subjects or segments (comics, cinema, elections, etc) 2 - Can I build a solution using "sendpulse" or "manychat" ou another frontend solution to integrate with whatsapp official api from meta and, such as example 1, send direct to my whatsapp.

(Optional) How

Exposing the group as a feed in url that can be used in another feed solution.

Thanks and sorry for bad english.

that would be huge, I currently use ttrss as you can create a feed from pretty much everything there (categories, tags, ...) but the design is a bit outdated.

I'm not really sure if using a RSS feed reader to generate RSS feed is the best idea... Shouldn't that be a responsibility for another tool?

Shouldn't that be a responsibility for another tool?

I searched quit a while but there simply are no other tools that do that. Adding it to the reader also reduces duplication for the user.

My current setup is something like:

  • ttRSS running on Docker for reading on Desktop and generating rss feeder
  • feeder on mobile with the generated feeds and some extra ones.
  • Pocketbook RSS reader, only with generated feeds.

The main problem is importing on my PocketBook eReader, it's just a hassle (no copy paste). Also making sure that all my devices have the same feeds is without self generated feeds extremely tedious.

So even if there were a tool specifically for merging rss feeds into a new one, I would still have duplication on my desktop readers. But there is no software (RSS bridge for example can only merge 10 feeds and very limited that way).

Being able to do that with ttRSS is extremely convenient, but ttRSS itself is to slow and old.

I could think of two ways to add this in the UI. Image add a button next to delete called share which generates the new feed url if clicked for the first time or allows to view the existing url and generate a new one if necessary if clicked again.

Or be added in a group view #85 as a button in the toolbar
