preface

Are you constantly harassed by malicious ads, feel manipulated in the news, or worried about your personal information? This article will help you solve these problems 🙂

RSS is what

RSS was first used in 1999. It was proposed and developed by Netscape. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. Is an XML standard. The purpose of RSS is to “deliver” news headlines, summaries, and content to the user’s desktop on request. This is basically a summary of updates from blogs, accounts, news, etc., that you want to follow.

The benefits of RSS

  • Personalized “aggregation” features from multiple sources.
  • Timeliness and low cost of information dissemination.
  • No junk information, convenient local content management features.

For now, using RSS technology means you will no longer be pushed uninteresting information by advertising-filled news platforms. It also reduces the potential for malicious data collection

The disadvantage of RSS

  • There is a certain learning cost (compared to the app only news platform)
  • Some news feeds do not support RSS technology
  • Can not participate in the discussion of the content, reducing the interaction

In fact, for some news platforms, do not participate in the discussion, do not see the feeling of comments may be an advantage…

Use RSS

It’s not that hard to use RSS. You just need to choose an RSS news reader that works for you and subscribe to your favorite news feeds. Of course, you can also build your own RSS reading service through open source solutions.

Reader Recommendation

  • Ios: Reeder
  • MAC: Reeder
  • Windows: It is very old and recommended to use web version
  • Feedly Inoreader NewsBlur

The comparison between different readers is not done here, please refer to minority’s article

Ps: Similar to minority, love fan this kind of media information website is to support RSS subscription

The subscribe method

The easiest way to start is to find the RSS icon on the site below

This site supports RSS subscriptions, click on it will pop up a link to subscribe

Here’s an example from Feedly:

  • Search results in the RSS address

  • Pay attention to the categories you want to put in

You have successfully subscribed to one of your favorite RSS resources

RSS feed recommendation

Here are some of the news sources I follow, some of which are scientific

  • 36 kr
  • Zhihu daily
  • Nut shell network
  • Zhihu daily selection
  • Lianhe Zaobao – China
  • Lianhe Zaobao – International
  • Reuters Chinese
  • Love rocks
  • Programming class

You can also export your favorite sources by clicking the option on the reader to share them with others, or to synchronize the sources

At the end

At this point, you have your own highly customized news collection to help you get information more efficiently. Of course, some unsupported sources can build their own crawlers to implement crawlers (crawlers use scrapy and RSS feeds are assembled using PyRSS2Gen). Or use someone else’s burned RSS generator to generate feeds

Eg:

https://github.com/hutushen222/JianshuRSS need to know the address of the author only, just can be a key generation Jane books of RSSCopy the code

You u can make RSS of websites you know or browse frequently, and then you only need an app. You are welcome to share your favorite RSS feeds. RSS is a virtue!
