  • OpenRSS is a cool site that aims to produce RSS feeds for sites without them at no cost (some conditions apply, e.g. no account-walled/paywalled sites may be requested).

    There’s also the Feedbro add-on for Firefox (and other browsers) that can be used to check if a website has a RSS feed buried somewhere to add to your reader.

    If you’d like to keep up with some non-commercial music, you could check out the Editor’s Picks from ccMixter. Here’s the direct feed link.

    In case of follow-up questions:

    • Mobile Apps: personally I’m mostly using Feeder on Android these days. I like to be able to see a lot of feed entries at once and this works best for me. I’ve tried apps like Read You and Nunti, but they weren’t showing as much as I wanted.
      • Worth noting though, Nunti may be worth trying for its unique feature that tries to adjust your feeds to surface articles/entries that may be of more interest to you with offline systems.
    • Desktop/laptop: I’m still sort of searching on this one. For the moment I use Thunderbird, but it’s not RSS-focused so it’s more than I want from a reader.

  • My problem with them is this and YouTube’s aggressive pushing of them in general and in the wrong places, like any device with a horizontal display (like when using a PC/laptop).

    In my opinion vertical videos are better viewed on a vertical display (like a phone) and nowhere else, because everywhere else they look worse. Now that I’m thinking more of this though…I should see if any shmup people are showing off via shorts, 'cause that’d be a good fit.
