Not every website has an RSS feed. Now that doesn't matter. Web Feeds is a new NewsBlur feature that turns any website into a live RSS feed. Point it at a URL, and it figures out the rest.

https://blog.newsblur.com/2026/03/13/web-feeds/

How Web Feeds works: paste a URL, NewsBlur analyzes the page structure, finds repeating content patterns, and generates extraction rules.

You pick which variant you want and subscribe. Job boards, changelogs, company blogs without RSS, it all works.

Some uses for Web Feeds so far:

- company blogs that killed their RSS years ago
- government press release pages, careers pages for job postings
- changelog pages for tools you use daily

@newsblur nice, I will have to test this.
@newsblur that’s a great help. Thanks.
@newsblur how does it differ from RSSHub?
@novet Far easier to use, just enter in the url and you get back potential variants with the story titles and images already shown. Choose the one you want (80% chosen so far are the first option) and re-analyze with the expected title if not. Super simple!
@newsblur
Does the figuring out part involve an LLM, or does this feature work without one?
@viq I’ve seen enough of these types of replies to know that there’s no chance you’re going to like the answer. I’ll say you can use an LLM to check the open source code and find out easily enough.
@newsblur
Understood, and thank you for making it possible to self-host! I've been looking around, and few things come even close to what newsblur can do.
@viq Glad to hear it! And I tried to make it easy to turn off all LLM features. In fact, I just committed a change to auto-disable all LLM features if you don't have the LLM API keys setup in your self-hosted repo.
@newsblur @codinghorror and if you go to https://feediverse.squarecows.com you can turn any rss feed into activity pub.
