RSS-Bridge
Creates web feeds for sites without them, for self-hosters and public-instance users.
RSS-Bridge is a PHP web application that generates web feeds for websites that do not provide one. It offers 447 bridges, including tools that scrape pages with CSS selectors or XPath, merge several feeds, reduce noisy feeds, and include or exclude items by keyword. Dedicated bridges fetch YouTube videos, Reddit posts, Telegram public-channel posts, and Mastodon statuses. Token authentication can be configured through URLs, and administrators can limit which bridges are enabled.
It is for people who want feeds from sites that lack them, especially self-hosters and users of public instances. It can be unpacked onto traditional shared web hosting, while the documented Debian 12 setup uses nginx and PHP-FPM.
The research names no paid product that RSS-Bridge replaces, so a direct paid-product comparison is not supported. It also does not establish comparative feature gaps. Documented uncertainties include supported feed formats, public-instance limits or policies, Docker Compose setup details, database requirements, and cache backend specifics. Users who need those details should verify them before choosing a deployment.
