I’m a fan of the website LifeHacker, but I wasn’t satisfied with their options for subscribing to their news feeds. They provide either tag-specific feeds, which only gives a short synopsis of each article, or a VIP feed, which gives you all feeds but with the full text of each article. I wanted to combine the two strengths, so I wrote a back-end Python script that scans each tag-specific feed, looks for the corresponding article in the VIP feed, and substitutes the latter for the former. This gives me full-text tag-specific feeds from LifeHacker that I can then filter further with my FeedControl script, as needed.
