Calishat: RSS With An Expiration Date: The Temporary Obsessions Feed Reader. “I love RSS; I literally couldn’t do my self-appointed job without it. But when it comes to temporarily monitoring topics, RSS feeds are a bit unwieldy; you have to add another layer of workflow to add/remove feeds, set up reminders for yourself, etc. All that has hitherto discouraged me from using RSS when there […]

How-To Geek: Why I Still Get My News and Alerts From a 25 Year Old Tool. “Catching up on the news means either dodging paywalls on traditional media sites, or wading through toxic comments on social media, right? Wrong: there’s another way. RSS has been keeping us informed for over two decades, and it’s as relevant today as ever.”

How-To Geek: How I Self-Host My Own RSS News Feed on a Raspberry Pi. “If you’re like me, you’re probably tired of getting news from social media. I decided to go back to RSS feeds to follow the news. I ran into a problem, though: I use multiple devices, and my feeds weren’t synced. That’s when I put my Raspberry Pi to use and installed FreshRSS.”

That said... send me the #rssfeed to your #blog or #personalwebsite so I can read and share!

Daniel Pietzsch: Feed City . “I made a new thing: a feed reader called FeedCity, available at https://feed.city. The main reason for adding yet another feed reader to the already huge pile, is that I couldn’t find an existing one with the features I’d like to have.” RSS is coming back and I am READY.

Andre Garzia: RSS doesn’t necessarily means firehose. “Was reading Hacker News today and saw this very interesting post Reading RSS content is a skilled activity which raises some really interesting points about feed reading and how much effort one should put into making their experience fit what they want. The following discussion on Hacker News is full of people commenting how their feed […]

Calishat: VibesMasto Gets an Overhaul and a Web Version. “Saturday I dug out the VibesMasto News Monitor so I could monitor news about the protests around the country. It was very useful but it also made me cringe. I first made this tool about two years ago when I knew a lot less about JavaScript, and its code is CRUSTY. Uncrusting it became yesterday’s priority. Now there’s a overhauled […]

GitHub: Fountain of RSS. “Because Bluesky is so open and friendly to data analysis I decided to source links by reading all posts from its firehose. The code in this repo finds all links included in posts, retrieves those pages, and looks in the meta tags for the presence of an RSS href. If one is found, it’s fetched and its metadata is stored in the output TSV file. I turned this on long […]

Boing Boing: Returning to Really Simple Syndication brought peace to my day. “It took me a while to get my RSS feeds set up the way that I wanted–it’d been a long time since I used such a simple information delivery system. It’s easy to let websites decide what to throw at you. And, it’s difficult to resist adding every RSS feed that looks interesting to your list of daily downloads. The […]
