dead-feed-checker takes in an OPML file containing a list of RSS/Atom feeds and reports back which ones appear to be dead.

• python3
• feedparser
• listparser

In a *nix shell run:

  python3 main.py your_feed_list.opml

to get a list of all feeds that are suspected to be dead or have not updated in the past year.

The length of time to wait before flagging a feed as probably dead can be set using the --interval parameter.

• You want to make sure that sites you follow haven't accidentally moved/broken their rss feed without warning
• You want to clear out dead feeds due to limits due to limits from your feed reader on the number of feeds allowed.
• You're feeling nostolgic (in which case my other project RSStory might be useful)
