OpenRSS feed generating bookmarklet

Quick tip: The free service "Open RSS" helps bring feed support to certain sites that don't have it natively.



You can paste the URL of a page into the search box on their homepage, and it will reveal whether or not that site is supported, and what types of feeds are supported from it. It's a handy and simple way to get a feed you can follow and they're always updating the sites they support

But copy/pasting the URL you're on into a new tab is a workflow buzz kill. So here's a simple bookmarklet you can use instead.

javascript: window.location=window.location.toString().replace('https://','https://openrss.org/')

Just copy/paste this into the address portion of a new bookmark in your browser's bookmarks bar. Then click it on any site you're browsing and it will add "openrss.org" to the front of the URL. 

Sorry I can't make a link for you to simply drag to your bookmarks bar. Blogger doesn't let me post direct javascript links. 

Happy reading.
