About RSS-Bridge

The web's duct-tape RSS layer, now quiet for a year after flipping every bridge on by default.

RSS-Bridge generates feeds for sites that removed theirs, and each release is a batch of community fixes to individual bridges plus a handful of new ones. Releases are date-tagged rather than versioned and land every few months, with the most recent in August 2025 — roughly a year of silence since. The core is stable PHP; the churn is in the ~400 site-specific scrapers that break whenever a target site changes markup or adds bot protection.
