Show HN: RSS Lookup – Find RSS Feeds for Any URL (Free, Open Source)

Hi everyone,

I built a tool a few years ago called RSS Lookup(https://www.rsslookup.com/) and recently made a few UI and feed detection updates to it. It's free, and allows you to paste any website URL and it automatically searches for feeds via meta tags, fallback paths, and hardcoded feeds for some popular sites.

It's also open-source(https://github.com/mratmeyer/rsslookup), has no ads, and doesn't track any URLs(uses Cloudflare Turnstile for abuse and Plausible for analytics).

Thought I would share this in case someone may find it useful. :) Feel free to drop any feedback if you run into issues, RSS as a whole can be fractured to work with since sites have so many configurations, but if there's something obvious I missed please let me know.

This is neat, definitely works for finding feeds on more busy / obscured / ad-covered sites, such as news.

I see that main part of the code is in JS anyway. Perhaps a fully-local bookmarklet would work even better, without having to rely on a site, CloudFlare, etc, etc.

That's an interesting idea! I'm definitely not a frontend expert, so I'm not sure if it's possible to implement a UI within a bookmarklet. It would also have to be pretty big code-wise to cover all the fallbacks and edge cases. Maybe a hybrid would be an extension that runs things locally, but with the switch I did from hcaptcha to Cloudflare Turnstile the friction seems to be almost gone.

Cool. Are there examples of where this works but feedly fails?
