I've often been recommended blogs that are many years old and/or have become dormant. The sites are still active, so I could binge read all of the posts at once, but I'd much prefer the articles to be incrementally added to the feed that I read each day from my feed reader. But if I just added the RSS feed directly from the blog, I'd miss all of the original content up to that point in time.

So I build refeed to as a way to ingest the blogs via my daily newsfeed. Enter the URL for a site, and an atom feed is created that adds posts starting from the site's first post. You can select whether a new post is added daily or weekly, and a new post will be added with that cadence.

I initially didn't think that it'd be very useful for more time-sensitive sites, but I ended up using trustedreviews.com as a test site and was suprised how fun it was to get a daily review of technology from 2008!

This is very much a "scratching my own itch" service, but I thought there might be some RSS aficionados here that might like such a service. Thanks, and I'd love to hear what you think!
