RSS from non-RSS sites ???

Howdy Folks.
Sometime back I found a great site that was able to automagically make an RSS feed for just about any site - all I did was give it a URL, and presto - a valid RSS feed was made & ready to use.

Then I lost track of that site, doggone it !!

Searched a whole bunch today and found places that claim to do this - but what they give me refuses to work in the newsreader inside of K-Meleon 75.1 Pro.

Some examples of the places I tried:
http://bitreading.com/deltafeed/
https://www.wachete.com/
https://pagemon.net

And a few others that were complicated enough that I couldn't make head or tails of 'em.

Has anyone here found a great way to do this, please ??

Thanks.

That is well beyond my skill level.

I had all my (10-12) desired feeds set up in FF and was just trying to get them working in K-Meleon, without success.

Turns out you are 100% right - most had used Page2rss - poof, gone.
As posted:
@Page2RSS
Page2RSS.com will be shutting down May 1st.
4:41 PM - 24 Apr 2016

So I looked here & tried lots of stuff=>
http://alternativeto.net/software/page2rss/

Found nothing I could easily get working, so instead now I just have fewer things that I use RSS for is all.

Too bad that service was unique and that it suddenly shut down like that.

RSSHub is a lightweight and extensible RSS feed aggregator, it's able to generate feeds from pretty much everything:
