That is great. I didn't know I needed this.

After browsing for a few minutes I found that it really needs to have some kind of filter mechanism. For example, on old.reddit.com each post has its individual feed, while on blogspot you have both RSS and Atom feed.

Author of Blog Quest here, good point, I'll track that as a feature request. I'm open to ideas on how the filtering should work. I could roll-up feeds for each domain (hello public suffix list), but I don't think that works well for home-dir style hosting (example.com/username). Maybe the user can set a policy to filter out or roll-up certain domains?

Deduplicating RSS and Atom makes a lot of sense too.

Thanks for trying it out!

Yeah - for a lot of people deduplication would probably make sense. I have - for example - four feeds on my private page (blog posts, quotes, photo-galleries and a roll-up feed containing everything). So whenever I post anything, two of those feeds get populated. But I wanted to give people the option to only subscribe to the categories of content, they are interested in.
