BBC NEWS RSS... YOUR WAY!
2025-02-08
It turns out my series of efforts to improve the BBC News RSS feeds are
more-popular than I thought. People keep asking for variants of them, and it's
probably time I stopped hosting the resulting feeds on my NAS (which does a
good job, but it's in a highly-kickable place right under my desk).
So I've launched BBC-Feeds.DanQ.dev. On a 20-minute schedule, it generates
both UK and World editions of the BBC News feeds, filtered to remove iPlayer,
Sounds, app "nudges", duplicates, and other junk, and optionally with the
sports news filtered out too.
The entire thing is open source under an ultra-permissive license, so you can
run your own copy if you don't want to use mine.
Enjoy!
