Bridge request for xcancel.com

Bridge request

General information

• Host URI for the bridge (i.e. https://github.com): https://xcancel.com/

  1. It's a foss front-end alternative to X/Twitter (most stable public instance of Nitter with 99.99% uptime https://github.com/zedeus/nitter)
  2. So for instance, to have the X account of CNN you'd use the X/Twitter handle of CNN which is @cnn and you would simply type https://xcancel.com/CNN compared to the regular url on X https://x.com/CNN
  3. Syntax: You replace x.com -> xcancel.com with everything else being equal
  4. The input/option settings for that bridge would be exactly the same as the existing RSS Bridge for Twitter.

Start by comparing the existing RSS Bridge for Twitter with xcancel.com and its profile URL format. Confirm how the requested post fields and options map to the existing Twitter bridge, then verify that the new bridge produces the expected feed for an xcancel profile.
