Show HN: Fast parser and generator for RSS, Atom, OPML and popular namespaces

Hi HN! While working on a project that involves frequently parsing a lot of feeds, I needed a fast JavaScript-based parser to extract specific fields from feed namespaces. Existing Node packages were either too slow or merged all feed formats, losing namespace information. So I decided to write it myself and created this NPM package with a simple API.

Feedsmith supports all feed formats and many popular namespaces, including: Podcast, Media, iTunes, Dublin Core, and more. It can also parse

How Trump’s meme coin business is profiting off a dinner with the president

In the crypto world, meme coins are mostly just jokes with no intrinsic value. But the Trump family is parlaying the president’s meme coin into two valuable commodities: serious cash and access to the president.

Elon Musk faces backlash from Austin neighbors over his ‘Fort Knox’-style mansion

Elon Musk has ruffled plenty of feathers since stepping more prominently into the political arena. Now, it seems he’s also a bad neighbor.

In 2022, Musk purchased a six-bedroom, $6 million mansion in the upscale Austin suburb of West Lake Hills, Texas. At the time, he didn’t knock on doors or introduce himself to his new neighbors—but word spread quickly, especially when visibly armed security personnel and their vehicles began appearing on the quiet suburban street.

Why selling your business isn’t the only path to success

Prioritizing growth to sell is a perfectly reasonable business strategy. Being acquired by a larger group at some point (like Poppi’s recent sale to PepsiCo) makes sense for many—to generate cash flow for expansion, take a shortcut to economies of scale or market penetration, or just cash in for early retirement. But not for me.

Early on in my business journey at Bulletproof, we considered a buyout fr
