Once I got sick of getting cut-down versions of articles on RSS, and go to the sites for full ones. I prefer to go to sites just for the sake of comments.
I looked around. Found Dapper, Feed43 and many others like them. I didn't like them. I had to convert at least a dozen tapes to the full version, and new candidates appeared regularly. And the aforementioned tape generators for sites are, in general, quite complex, and dapper also buggy on my FireFox.
What was to do? And I only had to do my own service, since the Information Retrieval topic is close to me and interesting. I did. Having spent on the implementation of the site for about a week of free time (where does free time come from? Yes, I simply stopped reading LJ for this week), I got quite a workable
feedex.net .
Simple as I wanted. One field for the address. Then a few minutes of reflection (I wrote the IR-logic in python, plus the optimization question was not asked for the time being) and here it is - a complete tape. For all the sites I like, it works quite well. Not without minor flaws (but on atypical sites and not large ones), but it works.
