## What it is
RSS-Bridge is a PHP web application that generates RSS, Atom, and JSON feeds for websites that don't offer one, using hundreds of site-specific 'bridges' plus generic CSS selector and XPath scrapers. It can be self-hosted or used via public instances.

## Use cases
- generate rss feed for a website that doesn't have one
- scrape a webpage into an rss feed using css selectors
- follow a twitter/reddit/telegram account in my rss reader
- merge multiple rss feeds into one
- filter an rss feed by keywords
- self-host a feed generator for sites without feeds

## When to choose
- you want to subscribe to sites lacking native feeds in any RSS reader
- you want a self-hosted, extensible PHP feed generator with many prebuilt bridges
- you need generic scraping-to-feed via XPath or CSS selectors

## When to avoid
- you need a client-side or non-PHP solution
- you want to bypass paywalls or heavy JavaScript-rendered sites that scraping can't handle
- you need a hosted service with commercial usage rights (public instances are non-commercial)
