Developer Wanted To Modify Default Newsfeed Module

MMRIZE

@sifuhall
Maybe like this;

Some test words are censored and removed already, so you cannot see them in title (and in description). (test words are “FBI”, “in data”, ‘man’, “to”)

Anyway, it is a tiny modification of the original Mich’s default module. So real monetized reward is not fair (at least, I think)
You can get it here;

But if you want more than the little modification, anyway contact me.

@MMRIZE Thank you! And of course I would love to pay you for your time.

I do have a question. This works with the first RSS feed I tried but not the next. I validated the feed using a few online validators and the feed seems ok but it is never picked up.

The feed is here:
https://www.ccwky.org/parser/parser.php

What is the best way to send payment?

Yes, that is the issue of Feed.
Each RSS1.0/RSS2.0/XML/ATOM feed has each standard syntax, but not strictly. So every feed provider (e.g. news site) serves slightly-similar-but-different-syntax-feed.
Your link has NO IMAGE by definition of the standard syntax, but it has a common CDATA tag to contain an image in the description really. The image doesn’t belong to the article item layer itself, but to its subcomponent description layer. It might be a kind of exception rule.

I can add some codes to pick up that kind of image from the description of the article. But before that, if I could know which feeds should the module parse, I can make a dedicated-efficient version for your usage. To make an all-bullet-proof version is somehow inefficient. Could you tell me which feed you are considering to show on MagicMirror?
