feedforge

feedforge is an open-source FeedBurner replacement that runs on Cloudflare’s free tier. Point it at your RSS, Atom, or RDF feed and it gives you a stable feed URL served from Cloudflare’s edge. Your origin sees one conditional GET per poll interval instead of one request per subscriber.

It also does what FeedBurner never did: agents can publish short-lived feeds directly through a REST API, so a long-running task can notify your feed reader when it finishes.

  • Feed proxying — parses RSS 2.0, Atom, and RDF; repairs malformed XML; emits valid RSS 2.0 or Atom (?format=atom).
  • Podcasting 2.0 — enclosures, itunes fields, podcast namespace tags, and content:encoded survive normalization.
  • Analytics — subscriber estimates and daily reach in Cloudflare Analytics Engine, with a privacy-preserving daily-rotating reader hash.
  • Short-lived channels — capability-token REST API for agent/human coordination over RSS.
  • Browser view — every feed URL doubles as a subscribe-friendly landing page.
  • MyBrand — map your own domain to a feed.
  • Refresh webhook — hosts ping, feedforge re-polls immediately.
