May 2026 in Feeds Fun

Blog post cover image.

Hey everyone! This is a monthly recap of Feeds Fun.

  • We made 4 releases, improving broken feed parsing, Reddit posts parsing, and internal tagging logic.
  • Per-feed entries/day statistics were introduced to better understand feed activity.
  • 2.5M news entries were loaded, and 21 new users registered.

Updates

What improved for users of feeds.fun:

  • In the Feeds view, you can find a new column with an average news/day metric for each feed. If you click on a feed, a details panel will appear where you can find a 30-day feed activity chart.
  • In the feed details on the Feeds view, you can now find both URLs: the feed URL and the website URL of the feed source.
  • Entries with malformed external URLs no longer cause the whole feed parsing to fail. In that case, you'll still see all correctly parsed entries.
  • Improved parsing and visualization of a special case of video+text Reddit posts.

What improved for self-hosted users:

  • We refactored how tag processors get entries to process: from going over all entries to queue-based dispatching.
  • As a result, we partially changed the configuration of tag processors. Now it should be clearer and more agile. Check changelog for the 1.27.0 version for instructions on how to update your custom tag_processors.toml configs.

Roadmap

Do not forget about our long-term development plans.

We finished the task Add information about the intensity of the news flow for each feed.

We continue working on other tasks from the "Quality of life" section of the roadmap.

Our plans are dynamic, and we are always open to suggestions and improvements. React to tasks you like:

  • Like to increase the priority of the task.
  • Comment to help us better understand your needs.
  • Create a feature request if we missed something important for you.
