In Show HN: Rssnix – Unix-style filesystem-based RSS/Atom/JSON Feed fetcher/reader
The whole thing is written in Go on my end. Ingesting new headlines is handled in a goroutine that spawns within the process every 30 mins using a combo of the wonderful gofeed (https://github.com/mmcdole/gofeed) and colly (https://github.com/gocolly/colly) libraries. When loading the front page, you're loading a 1-minute-cached HTML page of it that was constructed out of headlines already in my PostgreSQL database that were put there by the ingestion goroutine. I like the idea of word clouds actually, I think you're on to something there. I think you just need to pre-generate them rather than doing it adhoc (if that's what you're doing here) for speed. Additionally, perhaps consider using sentiment in a way that orients stories based on positive and negative sentiment. Right now I am not seeing how I as a visitor/user can act on the sent

iment analysis as it is presented now. It would be neat to see a collection of uplifting stories grouped together through the sentiment analysis. Anyway, food for thought. I hope you keep hacking away on it as it's just good fun to build things.
In Show HN: The Brutalist Report – A rolling snapshot of the day’s headlines
I've written a relatively popular Atom/RSS feed parser for Go [0]. I struggled with this very issue but I ultimately ended up attempting to be robust against out-of-spec feeds. A super strict feed parsing library is less useful than one that can successfully parse certain classes of broken feeds. It is a fine line to walk -- I won't add a great deal of complexity to support overly broken feeds, but if it is relatively simple to support certain types of common mistakes I'll do it.
