Nice to see that RSS Feed service, I'm going to try it tomorrow Wink

But first I want to ask something to developer:

Any chance you would release the source code on github?

At the moment? No.
In the future? Maybe.

Everything depends on the number of users. If it will grow, I will have the motivation to work on this project and it is quite possible that I will release the code. At the moment it is only a prototype, which requires too many design decisions to develop it in a larger group of people.

CAUTION: It's just a comment, not a criticism.
Can you please explain why you prefer to not release the code for example on github? You want to monetize it on the near future or something?

IMAO, people interested in bitcoin appreciate open-source projects and I think that if you release the code on github and you open a BTC address for donations, people that use it is going to donate some satoshis for you Cheesy

That's just my opinion Wink

Great service Grin

Is there a way to watch an entire board, so that you get an update every time there is a new thread?
For example, a rss feed that sends you new threads created on the meta board.

The system is back. There is a problem with supervisor. I will investigate the problem later this week. Send me private message next time you notice any further problems.

PS. I will consider opening the source code.

Is there any way of generating RSS feeds?

Is this still being supported? I haven't seen RSS updates from this tool in quite some time.

Looks like this might have happened again - not seeing some topic threads updated for more than 10 days.

It took me a little more than a month to find some time and check why RSS feeds for the topics stopped working. It turned out that the threads template has been changed, so the parser stopped recognize the posts.

At the moment everything seems to be working.

Sorry for the long response time, but this is a project that I'm doing in my spare time.

The service is currently shut down due to following error:

2013-12-02 07:14:04.269287 Can't open page https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/clark001-142067: Connection refused.

I do not know why this is happening. Perhaps administrators have blocked some IP addresses on the firewall in response to recent attacks and accidentally they have killed an innocent. I want to talk with administrators and clarify the case, but unfortunately I do not know who is right person to this talk. Can you help me?

PM theymos https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/theymos-35

Are you saying that other RSS readers allow you to create custom feeds composed of multiple 'base' feeds?

Yes. For example Feedly has a nice feature called folders. You can put all your BCT feeds in one folder and read them as a single stream of news.

Sorry for late response. Let me understand your needs correctly. Do you know which users you want to observe? If so you should use some kind of news aggregator like Digg Reader or Feedly (these are cloud services) or TinyRSS (you can host it yourself) or Thunderbird (and I belive that, there are tons of extensions for Firefox and Chrome that might be usefull for you as well). You will get single list of news from bitcointalk.org and you will be able to share it with other users.

My issue is that I already have an RSS reader (The Old Reader), and I have lots of other RSS feeds in it. So my "view all feeds" feed contains both bitcointalk posts and lots of other stuff that I may not be in the mood for. What I'd like to do is have the bitcoin talk feeds appear in one "feed"/stream, so that I can just click that feed and see what's new on bitcointalk today. But currently I have to read the individual feed for each user.

Feature request: allow having the posts from multiple users in one feed. I don't want to have a separate feed for 20 people. I just want a "interesting stuff on BCTalk" feed.

Nice work overall.

Or maybe you don not know what to read and you want advice? In that case I can not help you because I do not know what you are interested in. Perhaps other users have their own reading lists and can share.
