Recipe for The Intercept?

drakaka · 06-29-2016, 04:18 PM

Hey guys,

New to the forums here. I only bought my first Kindle like two days ago (it is a Paperwhite). Naturally, I spent some time reading up on e-readers first and plenty of websites mention calibre. One of the feature that draws my interest immediately, is it "Fetch News" feature. I already saw a few interesting recipes available, but one of the websites I try to read regularly did not have its own recipe.

That website is www.theintercept.com and has in my opinion great articles. They have their own RSS feed too (as I think that is necessary to write a recipe?) which is available at: https://theintercept.com/feeds/

My question now would be: is someone perhaps already in the process of making a recipe for The Intercept? Or can I maybe ask for some help from someone who can make one? Or maybe, do you think a non-technical user such as myself might be able to write a recipe? From reading the calibre website, I am guessing that last bit is rather hard to do (for my current skill set).

Looking forward to hear from you guys.

If ti has RSS feeds you should be able to make a recipe for yourself, with no programming knowledge. The results may be a bit sub-optimal but still readable.

Thank you for your response. If you think that someone without programming skills can do it, then I will definitely try it. I will post back with my results, if it goes somewhere
