Would you like to "feedfy" internet content?

Hi, I am creating an app where you can turn everything into a feed of its own.. it is very similar to a news aggregator but the difference is that you can aggregate pretty much anything. Let's suppose that you are a python developer and you would like to track all stack overflow, python related questions, python reddit and some other programming topics from some forums.. well, all you have to do is to put some simple css selectors to extract those information and group them in your feed.. the app will make sure to collect and group all the new info to your feed. Other users may want to follow your feed.. there are lots of possibilities but before I can keep going I would like to hear what you guys think. I have a functional prototype but I work as a full time dev.. it is a pain to work on this after working the whole day..

    Would this be similar toMailbrew? Seems to be a tough market to crack, since you have to convince people to pay for content they can get for free.

    Share the prototype around, see what people think!

      Thanks for this! It is similar but the big difference is that you are not limited to RSS or custom feeds from the site.. for example, if you are an ads manager and want to track google ads from other companies, you will be able to.. I will share this here

    I would like to aggregate and add changes from some government websites into a feed. In this particular case the webpage gets updated, but the hyperlink stays the same. I want the link to be posted with a preview onto a "news" site, shortly after the info on the page changed. Right now I use a visual webpage monitor.

      This is defintly a use case! Thanks for letting me know about it
