OK OK so last week’s post failed spectacularly, just like my phone is right now! I tried to put a link in that for some reason, it didn’t like. I still like that service, I’ll put the link in as an URL, or try to this time! I’m now testing two clients, so I intend to link to those as well!
- Church worship night! Unfortunately I won’t be able to go this time, hopefully they’ll do it somewhat often. By that i mean, once every few months or so.
- https://scour.ing This is a really cool service that filters your RSS feeds for you, surfaces the interests you add, and gives you a feed of the feeds you’ve added. It will also recommend feeds for you. CP went weird on this link, so you might need to copy and paste it.
- BlindRSS!!! I’ve been looking for an RSS reader for a decade and a half at this point. I’m not sure if I’ve ever prayed about it, but it would be an answer to prayer!!! Mostly because when Google Reader shut down, it left me without an alternative, I was able to replace it temporarily, but the replacements really don’t work that well for me. In comes a vibe coded app 13 years later, by a random blind dude using AI!!!
Also, it’s effectively feeds list by default, none of this timeline crap! Your feeds don’t look like new Reddit, or X!! Most people say the feeds list format looks like an email, but I say it looks like a list of feeds. There’s no email involved, or inbox. I can’t stand the river, and I think it’s invention was unnecessary! I’m also linking to a blog post by someone else in the community, who describes what the program actually is, and a bit about how to use it. < Here’s the post. - FastSM. This is a client for Mastodon that’s been recently developed. A better client for Mastodon was in fact a necessary thing because although we do have Tweesecake and TWBlue, they’re the leftovers from the Twitter era, when it was actually still Twitter. They’ve both been redesigned to support Mastodon, which was very difficult for the developers, I’m sure.
