RSS − like punk − never dies

[trashboypro@eldritch.cafe]

@brentsimmons god I hope not. An RSS Reader is literally how I manage all of the text-based social media websites right now and it works far better than their respective apps

@brentsimmons A content of a webapp does not depens on appearance and operation. Web MVC works fine. Content syndication too.

@brentsimmons @timo I am about to Write my own little rss aggregator / reader because none that i know has the features i like to have ‍️

2026: Newsletters move to blogs with RSS feeds.

@nSonic @brentsimmons @timo I can recommend @FeedCity!

[nsonic@troet.cafe]

@florianziegler @brentsimmons @timo @FeedCity None can display rss feed of forums in a good way, like grouping by title. In a forum you might get updates in only 5 threads but the rss feed is flooded with 50 items because about 10 new posts in each thread. Showing each thread only once with a shaded color to indicate it’s a group and a badge with the item count in each group. Tapping a group to expand/collapse or navigate to a list of items in that group.
I might write it myself ‍️

@brentsimmons it's like MIDI's little cousin.

[desparoz@mastodon.au]

@brentsimmons @rscottjones I just wish websites claiming to be blogs didn’t switch RSS off

[fatboy@fosstodon.org]

@brentsimmons
Linux = NewsBoat,
iOS = Netnewswire,
Android = Capy Reader

Also, Pale Moon and Basilisk web browsers support it ootb, if you want a browser app for rss separate from your daily driver

[starfia@mastodon.social]

@brentsimmons –

I can certainly understand some mild confirmation bias. ^ ^

I don't get the impression we're on the cusp of "not being surprised," but I'd also keep my ears open for any rise in "what's RSS?" and consider it promising.
