Feed Control, Full-Text RSS, Feed Creator: Which to choose?
We now offer a few products for working with feeds. This post looks at the the differences between them to help you choose the right one.
Introducing Feed Control
Feed Control is a new, hosted service we’re offering here at FiveFilters.org. It can monitor different types of feeds: RSS feeds, Twitter feeds, and webpages. For each feed you can set up filtering, email alerts and webhooks, as well as RSS and JSON generation.
Push to Kindle changes
We’ve updated Push to Kindle with a new interface and a credit system. With much more planned.
Feed Creator 2.1
Feed Creator 2.1 is now available. Ability to select attributes, submit HTTP headers, and a few bug fixes are the main changes.
Feed Creator 2.0
Feed Creator 2.0 is now available. With Feed Creator you can generate RSS feeds for web sites which don’t offer their own. You can also filter and merge existing feeds to remove items that you don’t need.
Full-Text RSS 3.9.6: PHP 7.4 compatible
Full-Text RSS 3.9.6 is now available. Full-Text RSS is used by software developers and news enthusiasts to extract article content from news sites and blogs, and to convert RSS feeds that contain only extracts of stories to full-text feeds. Existing customers can download the latest version through our customer login.
Soft paywalls
We’re getting quite a few questions about paywalls lately.
Push to Kindle 2.0 (Beta) for Chrome and Firefox
We are trialling the new version of Push to Kindle. This is an early release currently only available to our patrons.
Push to Kindle app for iPhones and iPads
We finally have Push to Kindle available in the Apple app store. Push to Kindle is our service for converting web articles into ebooks and delivering them to your Kindle.
Push to Kindle for Safari update
Apple is removing support for legacy extensions in Safari 13. They’ve been encouraging developers to build Safari App Extensions instead. We’ve now done that for Push to Kindle and published it on the MacOS app store.
