| RSS Hub also attempts to be exactly that:

| What are the domain names of some (dynamic) websites where this

|
| If any of you are looking into RSS, check out FreshRSS[2] (an RSS
| aggregator). A mobile client I especially like is NetNewsWire[3]
| (for Apple products only, but is imo amazing)

| Thanks! RSSHub is another option we could add to the mix

| Semantic HTML5 can be so helpful, especially in regards to
| tools like this one, or crawlers, or generally accessibility-
| wise. Unfortunately, its syntax is not enforced by browsers
| (for good reasons), so many developers never leverage it - and
| we end up with many custom-built sites falling back to <div>s
| everywhere, JS click handlers on non-interactive elements etc.
| I really wish modern framework docs and guides would more
| strongly hint to accessibility concerns.
