#rssreaders — Public Fediverse posts

Jim Nielsen: I Tried Vibing an RSS Reader and My Dreams Did Not Come True. “…vibe coding kinda left me with that feeling I get after indulging in social media, like ‘What just happened? Two hours have passed and what did I even spend my time doing? Just mindlessly chasing novelty?’ It’s fun and easy to mindlessly chasing your whims. But part of me thinks the next best step for this is to […]

I really love @tg's #UX observations on #PhantomObligation and #RSSReaders (it's very similar to what I've been saying about "RSS zero" not being a healthy aim!).

I'm trying to make my #email #newsletters feed more manageable and started using #Inoreader to check issues in masse. I was able to export a #opnl list of all the WordPress blogs I'm following.

@shipp I agree, although I guess because I have tended to focus on #RSSReaders that don't have that functionality, it isn't as important to me.

I was becoming a fan of #Nuzzel back before #Twitter purchased it, and was interested in what was then still the emerging #TwitterBlue service because I thought that integration could offer a really compelling #SocialNews service in Twitter.

#Inoreader has this sort of functionality built into it although it is local to the Inoreader network.

Perhaps one day (soon 🙏 ) we will see a RSS Reader with #ActivityPub support to facilitate this sort of conversational news?
