alt Hacker NewsMy buddy will soon offer an RSS reader. I will post it here.
Yes, you can create an RSS feed from a Youtube Channel. You can can create an RSS feed from Reddit.
You can't to my best knowledge create an RSS feed anymore from Twitter

This one you have to pay. I am considering it. Some RSS feeds don't work on my TinyTinyRSS. I think cloudflare, like always, is killing it:

PS: If you have an idea for a RSS reader domain, please suggest.

Does the world need another RSS reader/mousetrap? We already have so many.

What is your friend's idea to revolutionize with their new reader?
On the rare occasions I still look at Twitter I use lists instead of follows, and this avoids both the awful algorithmic noise and means I'm not contributing to anyone's bullshit engagement KPIs.
I would still prefer an RSS feed, if there was a logged-out solution.
Host your own Nitter instance and you'll be able to get RSS feeds
Rsshub can give you a RSS feed for Twitter but you have to give it a web session cookie which kinda freaks me out and probably violates the current TOS.
We have an X (Twitter) option that does not rely on RSS. I think Nitter is dead anyway?
There still exist a couple of nitter instances which provide RSS feeds for X.
I'm building a web app which would extract blogs and their RSS feeds from all HN stories you've commented, upvoted or added to favorites – so that you could easily extract exactly the content you want. I plan on expanding it to handle content you've interacted from other social networks too.

You don't have to create anything. YouTube and Reddit have never stopped publishing RSS feeds. I've personally been using RSS continuously for both sites without any issues for the past 15 years.
Both sites adhere to the standard link tag structure for declaring feed URLs in the headers of applicable pages. You can use a browser extension like 'Get RSS Feed URL' (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/get-rss-feed-url/kf...) to easily expose the feeds associated with a page you're visiting without having to look for them in the page source.
I personally have all of my feed subscriptions -- blogs, podcasts, aggregators (including HN), YouTube channels, subreddits, etc. -- synchronized via TT-RSS on my VPS. I then use Liferea as my client (https://lzone.de/liferea), pulling from TT-RSS, for a high-quality, no-nonsense reading experience on the desktop.
