Introducing the YouTube Channel RSS feed Bookmarklet
In 2020 Thomas Brand wrote a blog post about finding a YouTube’s channel RSS feed by appending the channel’s “Channel ID” onto a feed URL. Thomas Brand: In 2020 I am watching less stupid on YouTube by skipping the algorithm. Instead of letting the YouTube decide which videos it wants to show me, I am…

Nicky Case on RSS
Nicky Case: RSS works on a “don’t call me, I’ll call you” policy. I like that line. Readers of this blog need not be reminded of the value of RSS (nor of my love of it). But I thought Nicky’s post on RSS was worthy of a link anyway.

Why I still use RSS – Marc
Some blogger named Marc: I firmly believe the Internet, and what it stood for, peaked with RSS. I can’t argue with this. Also, this bit: However it wasn’t until I began working from home and everything in my life moved online that I really began to notice how beneficial RSS could be with relation to…

NetNewswire 5.1 for Mac
Excellent update to my preferred desktop feed reader, NetNewswire. I especially like “Reader View”. Here is how it is described. Some sites only publish extracts of their full articles. Reader View can fetch the full article text and show it to you in NetNewsWire, so you don’t have to go to another app. There is…

Make RSS more visible
Marcus Herrmann: Personal website owners – what do you think about collecting all of the feeds you are producing in one way or the other on a /feeds page? You can put your blog feed there, but also RSS generated from your Twitter account (via RSS Box), Mastodon updates, or even the starred items of…

NetNewsWire is the best RSS workflow on any platform
John Gruber: It’s exactly what I want in an RSS reader, and it has changed my daily reading habits significantly. It is, in a way, a return to what NetNewsWire was before the NewsGator acquisition of it and FeedDemon. Both NNW and FD were my go-to ways of subscribing to every interest, person, web site…

NetNewsWire for iOS is now available
NetNewsWire: You can go get it on the App Store! It runs on iPhones and iPads and requires iOS 13. Got it.

NetNewsWire public beta
Brent Simmons: NetNewsWire has reached public beta! It only took like five years. 🙂 Pre-Twitter, NetNewsWire was the app I opened first in the morning to catch up on the day. In fact, I said so on a cool November morning on this very blog in 2005. If you’re on a Mac, and have any…

Repost: Brent Simmons on RSS readers
👉 Brent Simmons: Any time someone writes that they “still use an RSS reader,” I think to myself: I still use a web browser. I still use email and still send text messages. I still make sentences out of words. I still wear shoes. No need for the “still” word. See other reposts.

Responses to RSS isn’t dead. Subscribing is alive.
There were a number of responses to RSS isn’t dead. Subscribing is alive. Partly due to being on Micro.blog Discover and perhaps also due to Brent Simmons linking to it (thanks Brent!). Chris Aldrich: I’ve been enamored of the way that SubToMe has abstracted things to create a one click button typically with a “Follow…

RSS is not dead. Subscribing is alive.
Sinclair Target, writing for Motherboard: Today, RSS is not dead. But neither is it anywhere near as popular as it once was. This isn’t the first nor the last article to cover the creation of the RSS standard, its rise to relative popularity with Google Reader, and its subsequent fall from popularity. But the big…

David Nield: \”RSS still beats Facebook and Twitter\”
David Nield on Gizmodo: Whether you’ve never heard of it before or you’ve abandoned it for pastures new, here’s why you should be using RSS for your news instead of social media. I’ve used RSS since it was released and feed readers began to appear and I don’t see a future of the web without…

Following Twitter accounts via RSS
I haven’t missed Twitter that much since deleting my account. The first week or two I missed Moments – but once that subsided I realized that Moments are generally a waste of time. Realtime reporting of most newsworthy events result in ill-informed, unsubstantiated tweets. I’m at a point now where I’d much prefer to get…

rss.js
With all of the JSON Feed hubbub recently I thought it was interesting to read Dave Winer’s post re: how he had created a JSON spec based on RSS in 2012 called rss.js: I wanted to see if there was interest among developers for a JSON version of RSS. I put up a website, with…

Titleless posts
Dave Winer re: NetNewsWire adding support for titleless items in a RSS or JSON Feed: I got an email from NetNewsWire user Frank Leahy, requesting that I add titles to my feed for items that don’t have titles. This is an issue that is going to continue to grow. With services like Micro.blog and post…

John Gruber on JSON Feed
John Gruber: The DF RSS feed isn’t going anywhere, so if you’re already subscribed to it, there’s no need to switch. But JSON Feed’s spec makes it possible for me to specify both a url that points to the post on Daring Fireball (i.e. the permalink) and an external_url that points to the article I’m…

JSON Feed
Manton Reece and Brent Simmons have created a new specification for creating feeds using JSON. They write: We — Manton Reece and Brent Simmons — have noticed that JSON has become the developers’ choice for APIs, and that developers will often go out of their way to avoid XML. JSON is simpler to read and write, and…

David Mead: \”Why is Feedly so hard to use?\”
David Mead writes about Feedly: There seems no way to see all your feeds in one place, and mange them accordingly. Everything has to be a “collection”. Those only show a few on the screen at any one time. So you have to keep expanding and collapsing boxes to make simple changes. It got to…

I agree with Seth, read more blogs
Seth Godin, on his blog: Other than writing a daily blog (a practice that’s free, and priceless), reading more blogs is one of the best ways to become smarter, more effective and more engaged in what’s going on. The last great online bargain. I obviously agree with Seth. Everyone should blog. And should read blogs.…

Is Medium embracing the open web?
Julien Genestoux, founder of Superfeedr, on his company’s blog regarding his company being acquired by Medium and how Medium is supporting open protocols already: At Superfeedr, we’ve promoted the open web by embracing open formats and protocols, such as RSS, Atom, XMPP and PubSubHubbub. Over the years, we’ve also learned that these protocols are only…

Yes, it is more work to subscribe than to follow, but that is OK with me
Fred Wilson, in A Founder’s Notebook, describing how “hard” it is to subscribe to a blog that isn’t on Tumblr but is on the open internet. My only complaint is that its not on Tumblr, where it would be an instant and easy follow. It takes more work to follow a blog when its on…

Teach a friend about RSS
For the last few years I’ve been hearing chatter that RSS "is dead", yet, I still continue to use it every single day. So, I thought – lets turn this on its head. Lets bring RSS "back" by teaching at least one friend how to use it. Why? The vast majority of people that surf…
