Since 2023, 4 different Hacker News readers have linked it 9 times, most often “Feedmaker: Quickly generate an RSS feed from any website (2023)”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-10-28, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked by HN readers for posts on journalism coding: a short post and tool for turning a URL and CSS selectors into an RSS feed, and a post on The Post replacing Mapbox with open-source map tiles.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussionI lurk in an online community of journalist coders and some folks there are excited about PMTiles as cost-saving way to host your own custom-styled map tiles. See, for instance, "How The Post is replacing Mapbox with open source solutions" https://www.kschaul.com/post/2023/02/16/how-the-post-is-repl...
