Right now you need to put the exact feed URL into FeedsPub to get it to work. It would be much better if you could just put the webpage and the feed would be auto-detected. This would also make your setup instructions much easier.

For example:

  • Instead of extracting the YouTube user/channel/playlist ID from the URL and creating the feed URL you can just use the original URL.
  • Instead of knowing where to put the /feed/ for Medium URLs you can just put the blog URL. (Also works on custom domains without needing to realize that it is on Medium.)
  • You can put basically any Reddit URL to get the feed, instead of having to add .rss.

All in all it is way easier and doesn't require finding or guessing the feed URL.
