A platform for posting (or searching) user-created RSS feeds - Does this exist? (lemy.lol)

The use case I have in mind: say for example, I read a lot of articles about a certain topic, such as Linux or chemistry or whatever. I want to combine the articles I write into a singular feed, and for others to be able to follow it. Call it “Alex’s Linux Feed”.

Another use case: Suppose I follow a news source (like washington post), but maybe I dont like the formatting of their feed. Maybe it does not have the full article, or maybe it is not organized right (sports news is mixed with political news, and I want to separate them right). So I create my own feed where I organize those same posts better.

The reason this would be a platform because the user should not be burdened with hosting it (even if it is not difficult), and it should be searchable.

Is there any platform like this of user created RSS feeds?

https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli ?
Or just a blog ? 🤔

I alluded in my post to why a blog would not work, but I will describe more clearly here:

  • if this is done via blog, the searchability issue is not addressed. I want it possible to search through all of these feeds
  • This creates large friction. I want it to be possible for the user to publish a feed without the complexity of hosting

Oh ok,
Maybe you should try logseq ? With syncthing that can do the job to sync it,

You can use tags, search options, create your own pages, etc.
You can embed code, use markdown or html, etc.
That's a great tool,
