Hey Product Hunt! I’m super excited to share FeedPal, a browser extension that auto-subscribes you to your bookmarked blogs and keeps you in the loop with their latest updates. If you’re like me, you stumble across awesome independent blogs while browsing and want to stay updated—without the fuss of setting up RSS readers or managing feeds. That’s why I built FeedPal to make it all happen right in your browser!
Why You’ll Love FeedPal:
Zero Setup: It works instantly, turning your bookmarks into subscriptions with no effort.
Smart Alerts: FeedPal adjusts notifications based on how often a blog updates (from every hour to every 45 days), so you only hear about new posts when it matters.
Privacy First: Everything stays local—your data and feed fetching happen on your computer, with nothing sent to servers.
Manual Flexibility: No RSS feed detected? Just make a bookmark folder with [sources] in the name, drop the RSS URL in there, and FeedPal will take it from there.
I built FeedPal because I wanted a simple way to keep up with the blogs I love without clutter or distractions. Whether it’s a site that posts daily or once a month, FeedPal’s got you covered. Give it a spin and let me know what you think—I’d love your feedback!
This is such a smart and practical solution! I love how it removes the friction of setting up an RSS reader while keeping everything local for privacy. The smart alerts feature is a nice touch too, no unnecessary pings, just relevant updates.
Congrats on the launch!
Best wishes and sending lots of wins @wildseeder :)
That’s a really great idea! Keeping up with independent blogs without the hassle of RSS readers or newsletters is something I think a lot of people need. Love the simplicity of just using bookmarks, super intuitive. Congrats on the launch! 🚀
This sounds like a super handy tool! I always end up bookmarking blogs and forgetting to check them later, so having an auto-subscribe feature tied to bookmarks is a smart solution. Love the fact that everything stays local—privacy is a huge plus.
Quick question: How does FeedPal handle blogs that don’t have an RSS feed? Does it try to detect new posts another way, or is manual input the only option? 🚀
@williamrobertscott Thank you! Currently in its early development phase, FeedPal only supports retrieving blog updates through RSS feeds, but it plans to add support for directly parsing HTML in the future.
