    What’s your setup? How do you aggregate different feeds to one page? Where do you find the feeds? I have so many RSS questions - everyone who uses it loves it and I want to understand it.

      Feedly is a pretty user friendly reader (but not open source, unfortunately).

      All feed readers aggregate the results in one page if you want.

      Most websites provide a feed (even YouTube channels), but it’s often hidden under the surface. You can inspect the page source, or you can pass the URL of the website to feedly (it’s usually able to find it for you).

      The cool thing about RSS is that it’s open. If you don’t want to use a particular reader anymore, you can export your feeds as an opml file and import it in another reader. You’re not locked in.
