Off the back of my project to un-suckify BBC News' RSS feeds (https://bbc-feeds.danq.dev) by removing non-news content and duplicate items, I received an email this week (addressing me by the wrong name, I might add) from somebody who asked if I could do the same... for the Daily Mail.
I'm so very tempted to provide an empty RSS feed and say "there you go; that's an RSS feed of the Daily Mail but with the crap bits removed".
Turns out my distaste for the Daily Mail is greater than my love of clean RSS.

Email from Simon G to Dan Q, subject "Dail Mail RSS that doesn't suck", with message: Hey Darren, I’ve come across your BBC RSS feeds and find them really useful over the last few days. Thank you so much for this!! I’m not sure how easy it is but could you do something similar with the Daily Mail as that has thousands of reposts a week? Happy to contribute/donate.
I still think just put the BBC feed in there. Big improvement.
kudos to Simon for either excellent trolling, or an impressive ability to fail to read the room.
