@cagri What's your use case? I'm trying to understand what you mean by "rss feeds or another way to get new content published on websites without rss feeds".
Is it to get content from any site when a new change is detected?
@onerinas, no, it is to get the new content on any site when it's published.
I need it to get new content across all kinds of web and social channels so that #heynews can curate the best stories for a user's newsletter.
Some common issues I face:
- Websites without an RSS feed
- Websites that block bots from scraping their pages
- Websites blocking IPs that are not residential or from a specific geo
I'm using RSS.app to resolve these issues, so HeyNews can follow all kinds of sources.
From the outside it looks like every site is its own special case, so adding a site to a feed really means writing a small crawler for that site. I don't think it can be solved for ANY site from scratch. If I were building this, I'd limit the source list (a local newsletter probably needs a few dozen sources, not the whole web) and write a dedicated bot for each site. With AI help that part isn't hard anymore. Then it becomes a question of support: noticing when a site changes its layout and fixing that one bot.
Thanks Giorgi, that's a great point!
Added different colors for the main 3 features but as you said, having a color palette makes more sense and limit to one or two colors.
I don't have design background but that makes perfect sense. It's not great visually.
Need to rework on the landing page soon. Might have to pick a prebuilt landing page template to avoid these mistakes.
Thanks for checking Sergei. Now I can't unsee the things you mentioned (which is a good thing!). In the next couple of days I'll focus on the design aspect.
Homepage went through multiple revisions when new features were added.
Considering all these, I think better to use a proper template like Tailwind UI or get help from a designer.
Other than these, is it clear what the product is about? I think we need pictures or videos too based on comments from others.
Thanks again for taking the time to go through it and giving me suggestions :)
I'll try to make it simple. Anything in specific that stood and should remove?
That's a great point and convey the use clearly. I didn't add since not sure if it's okay to mention other brand names but looks like others are doing it as well.
Yeah, I need to figure out which one to make the main. So far blogging/content side is the most used. So positioning it as "Content Marketing" tool might be good move with others as additional tools "for free". E.g Bento (bentonow.com) has Email marketing as the main one with forms, chat and other tools that comes with it once you are a paid customer.
Their homepage looks great! Super clear and everything is on to the point. I like how they have demo video for each features and even interactive toggles.
Thank you so much Alejandro! I'll start making these changes one by one :)
Oh I see. I was curious as I had worked on a rss reader app recently. Your use case sounds like way more complicated and a fun problem to solve.
Unfortunately I don't have any experience on that.
