RSS feed reader is not implemented

Would this be something that is built into Brave core, or would it be better to be added as an extension?

There’s this MIT licensed project here, BackRSS, which describes itself as a _Very simple RSS reader (NodeJS + NeDB + Backbone + Marionette + Electron)._

we'd accept a pull request for this if built in. We need to be careful about dependency size though.

I want to get notifications for https://blog.ethereum.org/ which has RSS but no other option to get notifications of new posts. So I want to get an RSS reader, which is available as an extension in Chrome.

Folks will be able to install extensions to get this functionality with brave-core 😄

[dmcnaught]

@bsclifton When will the functionality be available? Shouldn't you wait to close this ticket until it is available?

[dmcnaught]

what's the corresponding issue in brave-core?

[bsclifton]

@dmcnaught brave-core will have access to the Chrome Web Store for installing extensions. If you'd like to see a more integrated solution, we can create an issue here with details:
https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues

With our current Muon version of the product, we won't be able to address this unfortunately (which is why I closed this)
