[FR] Automatically trim noise from feed names

Open mtlynch opened this issue 8 months ago • 0 comments

What

When we let fusion auto-detect the feed name, it would be nice to automatically trim out filler/noise words.

Here are some examples:

  • https://danielmangum.com/posts/index.xml
    • current: Posts on Daniel Mangum
    • desired: Daniel Mangum
  • https://swizec.com/rss.xml
    • current: swizec.com RSS Feed
    • desired: swizec.com
  • https://samcurry.net/feed.rss
    • current: Blog | Sam Curry
    • desired: Sam Curry

Why

I don't think these authors are paying attention to the RSS feed titles, so they're probably not intended. I think we could solve 80% of the problem by trimming prefixes like "Posts on " and "Blog | " and trimming suffixes like " RSS Feed"
