Axol: search alerts

Eventually I'll write about it here

Table of Contents

[A] Motivation axol

TODO [B] I don't necessarily want to read everything found by 'scott alexander', but it's still interesting to run search to see the overlap between people? axol

CREATED: [2020-06-25]

TODO why not hnrss? axol

CREATED: [2020-11-30]

it's very likely more convenient to use if you only want a few HN queries, and don't care about historic ones

TODO why axol over rss bridges? axol

CREATED: [2020-12-05]

rss is awesome! downsides

  • might be trickier to do various post-filtering
  • with axol, you can compare results across queries (user summary)
  • can be used with promnesia maybe

STRT motivation: I don't understand how google search alerts work. e.g. try on openbci query (see my old emails from google alert) axol

CREATED: [2018-11-10]

TODO [D] [2019-12-30] Ask HN: Do you still use RSS? | Hacker News axolrsstoblog

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21913598

I've just started using Feedbin about a month ago, and although my HN firehose feed is at like 1100 something, it definitely limits the rest of the HN feeds. The show and ask feeds are both stuck around 400 something.

[D] [2018-11-24] problems with diff approach axol

random errors, resulting in empty diff axol

small differences in output (e.g. google search) axol

not always interested in items disappearing from query axol

the downside – having to keep the state :(

[C] TW at [2018-10-02] А кто-нибудь знает тулы типа https://t.co/EbpbNZWQFC , но чтобы туда можно было вбить грубо говоря любую поисковую кверю, или API (например reddit/github); и оно отслеживало результаты? axol
