Show HN: Free tool to find RSS feeds, even if not linked on the page (❄️ Score: 150+ in 4 days)
Link: https://readhacker.news/c/6ejpK
I developed a small tool to find RSS feeds for websites. You can try it out here: https://lighthouseapp.io/tools/feed-finder
In >90% of cases the standard way of checking meta tags is enough to find the feeds. But my goal for this tool is that it finds feeds regardless if they're linked somewhere or not. That if this feed finder doesn't find a feed, no feed exists.
It's a big goal and admittedly not there yet, but it does a few things that are a step in that direction.
* Checks meta tags of parent pages (sometimes the article itself doesn't have the meta tag, but the main blog page does)
* Checks common suffixes like /rss, /index.xml and many others (sometimes the feed exists but isn't linked)
* Checks the sitemap
* Checks all links on the page
* Checks 3rd party feeds (OpenRSS for now, when I find more such repositories I'll add them too)
There are a couple of additional ideas I have, like checking search engines and crawling the entire domain (highly inefficient, but possible).
Would love if you could try it, and even more if you post sites where it doesn't work.

Show HN: Meet.hn – Meet the Hacker News community in your city (🔥 Score: 154+ in 3 hours)
Link: https://readhacker.news/c/6exU7
Hey HN!
I just published https://meet.hn, a map to find hackers in your city.
How it works?
Demo of the signup process: https://x.com/meet_hn/status/1834918518904746329
1. Fill the form: username, city+country
2. Copy the text generated in the box below the form, and paste it in your HN description.
3. Click "Add me on the map"
Optionnaly (it's recommended!) you can add links to your socials as well as some tags to showcase your interests.
Why does it exist?
I created this because, despite its harsh reputation on the internet, I love the HN community.
I have fewer than a handful of friends who are as curious and eager to think and reflect as the people on HN.
Also, the city I currently live in is more focused on industry than on technology and entrepreneurship, which are core to HN.
This led me to want to meet the HN community IRL.
After trying `site:news.ycombinator.com/user toulouse` on Google and getting only one result, I decided to create meet.hn.
My first goal with this is to meet at least one HN member in my city: Toulouse, France.
If you are ever in the area, hit me up! I'm sirobg at https://meet.hn/city/fr-Toulouse
Additional details:
- meet.hn has a twitter page: https://x.com/meet_hn. If you meet IRL thanks to meet.hn, don't hesitate to tag it with a picture, it would mean the world to me.
- the code is open source: https://github.com/borisghidaglia/meet-hn
- meet.hn integrates with https://at.hn/ from @padolsey (https://padolsey.at.hn/), registered on meet.hn at https://meet.hn/city/cn-Beijing
Finally, many thanks to these people for their help and/or feedbacks!
