Show HN: Free tool to create and edit blogrolls (with bells and whistles)

https://lighthouseapp.io/tools/blogroll-editor

Hi!

Blogrolls are a cool way to share interesting feeds, be it the ones you follow personally or topic-specific collections. The existing editors I found were really basic, basically just textboxes.

I attempted to create one that's easier to use and includes more features.

If that contributes to blogrolls being more used in the future I'm happy to have done something. That's something I'd love to see. Anyway, would love to hear what you think.

The features this thing has are:

  * OPML import and export
  * Edit and share links (no account necessary for editing, can share readonly version)
  * Create copy and edit (to start from a readonly version)
  * Adding different link types: feed, website newsletter
  * Automatic feed finding (just add website and click on 'Check feed')
  * Showing feed metadata: publishing frequency, last post date, language
  * Inline email to feed creation: add a newsletter item, click 'Generate email', and subscribe to the newsletter with the email
  * Tagging of items
  * Reordering (that's a bit hidden, need to grab the icon on the top left to drag and drop)

If you're looking for an example, this is the latest I created: https://lighthouseapp.io/tools/blogroll-editor/view/8n46XIeS... It includes AI labs, and for the ones that don't provide a feed I added their website.
