I've been using elixir to build an app that lets an administrator add new rss feeds, render the article titles and summaries to a single page, scroll through them and push the ones they like to a landing page as a collection to read later. Many of the sites I like don't have the conventional RSS "structure" so I have to modify my main parser and adapt it to the outliers. I'm curious, how do you adapt to feeds that don't fit the conventional RSS structure? I was thinking of just using an LLM to automate it as I keep using Claude AI to expedite the process.
replyDo you mean they technically have RSS, but they’re using slightly different fields? E.g. summary instead of description?
replyI’m using FastRSS[^0] with some lightweight pattern matching to convert them to an internal model. I get error notifications for mismatches, and just push a new pattern match to handle the outlier.
Longer term it could be interesting to get an LLM to write some Lua to parse JIT.
Cool, could also check out a unified App platform framework:
