Do you mean they technically have RSS, but they’re using slightly different fields? E.g. summary instead of description? I’m using FastRSS[^0] with some lightweight pattern matching to convert them to an internal model. I get error notifications for mismatches, and just push a new pattern match to handle the outlier. Longer term it could be interesting to get an LLM to write some Lua to parse JIT. [^0]: https://github.com/avencera/fast_rss

Before that I was mostly doing Ruby/Rails work. In the frontend I’ve mostly worked with React. I’ve also done a few web projects using Elm and ReasonML. As well mobile apps using React Native. Recently I’ve also been learning Rust. So far I’ve loved it and I wrote a little CLI to sort Tailwind CSS classes, a NIF for parsing RSS feeds, and a VSCode extension for minifying inline SVGs: http://github.com/avencera/rustywind http://github.com/avencera/fast_rss https://github.com/avencera/svgmini I've worked with all
