RSS Feed Reader

A feed is a machine-readable summary of a site's latest content. This reader accepts every mainstream format — RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0 (RDF), Atom, and JSON Feed — and normalizes them into a single, uniform list of entries.

Steps

1. Fetch: The feed URL is retrieved via a public CORS proxy, because browsers block direct cross-origin requests to most feed servers. If a proxy fails, you can paste the raw feed content instead.
2. Parse: The Feedsmith library detects the format automatically and parses it into a structured object while preserving the original data.
3. Normalize: Titles, links, publication dates, authors, categories, and content are mapped to a common shape so RSS, Atom, RDF, and JSON entries all display the same way.
4. Filter & export: Narrow entries by a date range, sort them, and download the result as clean Markdown or structured JSON.

Privacy

Parsing, filtering, and exporting all happen locally in your browser — utils.com never sees the feed. The only network request is the fetch of the feed itself through the CORS proxy.

You can embed this util on your own site as a widget. Adding ?embed=1 to the URL loads a compact version with just the tool itself; no header, menu, or documentation. Paste this snippet into your HTML:
