About
-----

`rsspls` generates RSS feeds from web pages using [CSS selectors][selectors] to
extract parts of the page and turn them into a feed. Example use cases:

* Create a feed for a blog that does not have one so that you will know when
  there are new posts.
* Create a feed from the search results on real estate agent's website so that
  you know when there are new listings—without having to check manually all the
  time.
* Create a feed of the upcoming tour dates of your favourite band or DJ.
* Create a feed of the product page for a company, so you know when new
  products are added.

You can subscribe to the generated feeds in your feed reader, either by
referring to them locally or by publishing them on a web server.

FAQ
---

Frequently anticipated questions:

* _Does `rsspls` require a runtime or dependencies?_<br>
  No. It's implemented in Rust and is a single-file native binary.
* _The screenshot at the top of the page looks like classic Mac OS.
  Does it run on this system?_<br>
  No. The screenshot _is_ from Mac OS 8 but it shows a [ssheven] window
  logged in to a Linux system running `rsspls`.
* _Why did you use a screenshot from Mac OS 8?_<br>
  I didn't want the screenshot to look like it was from any particular
  modern system, so I picked an old one with a great design.
