Does RSSmonster support the "hot" links feature?

Since Fever has stopped development, I'm looking for another way to find "hot" links in my RSS feeds. Does RSS support this? If not, is it a planned feature?

Hi @dylan-k, it has been a while. RSSMonster features something I call starred items. These starred items will be returned when using the hot links api. Does this make any sense?

That does make sense, although it's not quite the same thing as the original feature.

I've got some more detail about how the original "hot links" feature works, in case that's useful.

I've implemented the hotlink feature. External links are extracted from all posts, and stored in a hotlink table. If the link is found in this table it is classified with the count. Here you can see how this looks in practice.
