I've become more and more of an RSS fan over the last couple years and I finally have my own reader deployed (https://rss.talking.dev) it's a multi-user instance and is hosted in my rack at home - feels like an RSS reader should be.
## XPaths
I've found that the [XPath testing tool at freeformatter.com](https://www.freeformatter.com/xpath-tester.html) is useful for developing XPath links for different sites that don't have RSS feeds. You can copy and paste the page contents into the form, edit your expression, then click `Evaluate XPath to new window` and you get a list of entries that matched.
### Example XPaths for The War Zone
- Items: `//div[@class="MuiBox-root css-qqy92e"]`
- Item Title: `descendant::img/@alt`
- Item Link: `concat('https://www.thedrive.com', descendant::a[@class="MuiBox-root css-0"]/@href)`
- Item Thumbnail: `descendant::img/@src`
- Item Author: `descendant::a[contains(@class, 'MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1')]`
- Item Date: `descendant::p[contains(@class, 'MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1')]`
