    RSS Feed Reader Without Ads - JavaScript News Aggregator

    In this video, I walk you through how to find the RSS feed link embedded in a blog's page source and submit it to my serverless JavaScript news aggregator. The app displays the blog's title, article links, descriptions, videos and publish dates—all in a clean, ad-free layout. Since the blog author controls the feed, you might get full articles or just teasers. Best of all, your browser's URL never changes, making this ideal for discreet reading at work.

    RSS FEED: Here's a more detailed breakdown:

    An RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed is a web feed format that allows users and applications to receive updates from websites in a standardized, computer-readable format. It's essentially a text file (in XML format) containing information about new content on a website, such as blog posts, articles, or podcasts. Users can subscribe to these feeds using an RSS reader, which displays the updates in a single, organized location, eliminating the need to visit each website individually to check for new content.

    • Standard Format: RSS feeds are based on XML, a standard for structuring documents.
    • Content Summaries: Each entry in the feed provides a summary of the new content, including its title, description, and a link to the original article.
    • If the Author wishes, they can provide the entire article.
    • Ease of Use: RSS readers aggregate the content from multiple sources, making it easy to keep track of your favorite websites. This data DOES NOT bring the website advertising with it.
    • Real-time Updates: When new content is published on a website, it's automatically added to the RSS feed and displayed in the RSS reader.
    • Versatile Applications: RSS feeds are not limited to blogs or news websites; they can also be used for other types of content, such as podcasts, audio, and video.
