Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Feed Creator.
RSS.app

FetchRSS
An online RSS generator that builds feeds from almost any web page or social media page.
FetchRSS uses a visual builder rather than CSS selectors and handles Facebook, YouTube and Reddit sources directly, with heavier use requiring a paid plan.
PolitePaul
Creates an RSS feed from any web page by picking elements.
PolitePaul creates feeds by point-and-click with no selectors to write, while free use is limited in feed count and polling frequency.
RSSHub
Generates RSS feeds for sites that do not publish one.
RSSHub is free MIT-licensed software with hundreds of community routes for specific sites, and can be self-hosted, rather than letting you define selectors for any page.
rss-bridge

rss-bridge is a free Unlicense collection of site-specific bridges you can host yourself, replacing custom selector rules with prebuilt bridges that can break when sites change.
Open RSS
Non-profit service publishing RSS feeds for sites that dropped theirs.
Open RSS is a free non-profit service without accounts or tracking that publishes feeds for sites it has implemented, so you cannot build feeds for arbitrary pages.
