      Just a note since itโ€˜s an exciting new feature:

      https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/releases/tag/1.20.0

      as per https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/pull/4220:

      This PR adds a (killer? ๐Ÿคฉ) functionality, namely the ability to consume any Web site / HTML source, also when an RSS / Atom feed is not available.

      It is based on XPath 1.0, which is natively available in PHP:

      https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-10/
      https://php.net/class.domxpath
      https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/XPath/Axes
      This is a light version of what RSS Bridge offers, but natively inside FreshRSS and much easier to use:

      https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/wiki/The-collectData-function
      https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/wiki/XPathAbstract
      Using a third-party tool did not scale enough anymore for me, when I just need to quickly add another (simple) source.

      FreshRSS can then also republish as RSS.

      This can be combined with our existing ability to follow article links to retrieve full article content (use with parsimony).

        Nice find.

        So this would encompass the features of change detection?

          This would be great if it works like and thus could replace the changedetection appp, since that package already broke due to upstream changes ๐Ÿ˜•

            Oh no! I really like changedetection - easy and straightforward.

            The feature in FreshRSS is not the same IMHO as it does not create diffs(?)
