And I thought only I did crazy #RSS hacks 😂

@ChrisHardie beats the pants off anything I do 😂

“Fine. Whatever. I used to spend time trying to work around individual fingerprinting and blocking mechanisms, but I got tired of that. So now I pay about $25/year for access to rotating residential IP addresses to serve as proxies for my requests.”

“I don’t like supporting these providers but when I come to make an RSS feed of your content, it will look like it’s from random Jane Doe’s home computer in some Virginia suburb instead of a VPS in a data center.”

“Look what you made me do.”

Tried the new #Reeder for #RSS. It’s definitely not for me.
It does not work with my #Miniflux instance and does too much “magic”

Been a happy user for more than a decade and a half now and I’m a bit saddened that Silvio’s vision for how an RSS app should be, has diverged from mine.
Wished Silvio had just enabled subscriptions in #ReederClassic, so I could continue to pay him, annually.

So where does that leave me, now that one of my core reading experiences is undergoing upheaval? With a certain sense of unease for now, that is all.
#ReederClassic still exists and I hope there will be enough people like me, who’d love to pay @rizzi to keep working on ye olde classic.
I worry about an amazing app like this vanishing.

None of this is to say that the new app is bad. It’s classic Silvio.
I’m assuming an enormous amount of time and effort must have gone into accomplishing all that he has done.
It’s beautiful, polished and amazing. Just sadly not for me :)
Go try it 1 and if it fits your mental model, then there can be no better app, than a Silvio Rizzi creation

dumb #RSS question for all you #Web folk out there

does the whole feed file get regenerated every time, an item is added?

or is the new item just appended to the existing xml file?

#Miniflux might call itself minimalistic, but nearly every darned feature I’d want is in there. (probably my needs are minimalistic too?)
And then some.

Today I marked something article as read by mistake, and then wanted to go look for it. Wondered if Miniflux let me search.
A look through its documentation told me it did!

And it’s pretty fast too! (powered by #PostgreSQL search)

I love my #RSS feed reader more and more everyday :)
