Show HN: RSS Search Engine

You should configure your Rails application correctly for production. Right now it seems like it's considering all requests as local and returning the Rails exception page to me.

daviducolo15• 7 years ago

can you send me an example of your request?

daviducolo15• 7 years ago

if you try this https://feedi.me/search/entries?q=SEO&page=2 you receive an exception because Total are 10. I must improve exception management

I don't quite understand how the searching works; if I search for "Steve Kemp" I expect to find my own feed, or nothing. Yet instead I get results just including "Steve".

(Wrapping in quotes didn't make a difference, nor did adding AND in the middle.)

kowdermeister• 7 years ago

I would make the search input more obvious. My focus is dragged first to the "query, entries, per page" buttons because of the gray background.

daviducolo15• 7 years ago

done!

The post is about the API, not the rough demo implementation of it...

rwieruch• 7 years ago

Thank you for sharing! Loving it already :)

One question: Are you feeding this application manually with RSS feeds from different websites or do you have a crawler in place?

daviducolo15• 7 years ago

thanks! There is an endpoint to add manually at moment.

I want to chime in - thanks for sharing & good work!

majkinetor• 7 years ago

I like it.

It would be great to be able to use UI instead API for usage. User login, add feed, end.

FYI, without RegEx any search is insufficent.

I currently use desktop RSS QuiteRSS that has this option.

Also, search query should be linkable (give me URL that I can send others for them to get the same results)

daviducolo15• 7 years ago

yes but main project is Feedi API. https://github.com/davidesantangelo/feedi.

This is a small demonstration of its potential. However in the future the idea is to make a real UI

daviducolo15• 7 years ago

"Also, search query should be linkable (give me URL that I can send others for them to get the same results)" Yes thanks for feedback.

daviducolo15• 7 years ago

anyway at the moment you can share with https://search.feedi.me/?q=ruby

dddddaviddddd• 7 years ago

How can a feed be submitted to the index?

daviducolo15• 7 years ago

take a look at API documentation at https://github.com/davidesantangelo/feedi

Unfortunately the page only shows the loading gif (in the left top corner) and nothing else happens. Tested in Firefox 66.0.5 (64-bit) browser.

jccalhoun• 7 years ago

me too. tried it on firefox and chrome

This is cool a cool project. RSS needs all the support it can get. I understand this is just a demo but some things confused me.

What are the positive and negative tags for, how do they get applied?

In what order do the search results get returned? It didn't seem obvious when I added my own feed and then searched.

Is there no way to search for a particular feed or author?

edjroot• 7 years ago

What are the positive and negative tags for, how do they get applied?

If you hover over the tag, it shows you a score that represents a "sentiment". The README says "entity extraction and sentiment analysis are provided by Dandelion API".

Honestly, this might be the best way out of the mess the web is becoming. Use RSS for "normal" content delivery. No scripts. No styling. Nothing crazy. Just content. Build tools for searching and some other typical tasks and stop when basic functionality is covered.

vthallam• 7 years ago

This would be great for consumers but won't content creators or publishers be unhappy about it? For any content you don't pay, advts is a motivation for people to create content.

acct1771• 7 years ago

They'll just demand the ads be put in the headlines.

bthallplz• 7 years ago

What does this do, exactly? This isn't clear to me from the title, and the page isn't doing anything for me besides showing a loading gif and linking to a Github repo that still has me wondering what this does.

daviducolo15• 7 years ago

you can add your RSS feed and feedi takes care of periodically importing the data, enriching it with ML and providing you with the API.

MuffinFlavored• 7 years ago

that's cool, but what about the comments that make ecosystems like HackerNews + Reddit so great?

jermaustin1• 7 years ago

You should add some instruction copy then.

Also: all I get is a "network error" for the ajax response in the browser console.

nkcmr• 7 years ago

Anyone else getting this error?

    Error fetching and parsing data Error: Network Error
        at M.exports (createError.js:16)
        at XMLHttpRequest.W.onerror (xhr.js:87)
    Failed to load resource: net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

daviducolo15• 7 years ago

I take a look at this soon

edraferi• 7 years ago

Wish I could search for an exact phrase. I'm getting non-relevant results.

mike-cardwell• 7 years ago

I just submitted my own RSS feed using curl and jq, by doing this:

  $ RSS_URL="https://www.grepular.com/rss"
  $ FEEDI_TOKEN=$(curl -sX POST https://feedi.me/tokens \
    | jq -r '.data.attributes.key')
  $ curl -X POST https://feedi.me/feeds \
    -H "Authorization: Token $FEEDI_TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "Accept: application/json" \
    -d "{\"url\":\"$RSS_URL\"}"

As per the API docs at https://github.com/davidesantangelo/feedi

Great projects. Going to keep an eye on it/use it.

I've been wanting to do a web RSS thing for a while, but my idea has bloated into a full featured RSS reader and blogging Platform. It would also need a search engine, but because of the the size of the project I never got very far with actually implementing it. I need to get better at finding a minimal functioning part and start implementing it, like this search engine does.

daviducolo15• 7 years ago

just deployed a new version with various improvements! Go to https://search.feedi.me

Thanks for feedbacks!

rakoo• 7 years ago

That's very nice work ! Do you crawl sources as well or do you rely on people submitting feeds to you ?

daviducolo15• 7 years ago

people submit feed and the app cares to keep them updated
