    Tuvix? Was it created by a transporter accident and will be murdered separated into two distinct apps?

    Hm the RSS App has 64 stars and all PR on GitHub have been from the author. I know it’s opensource but I can’t read code well enough to figure out if it’s good.

        You dont know what vibe coding means. You and me. Laptops. Zero internet coding challenge. I’m up for it? Are you?

          Oh how you know me. I am sure you are better than me. That’s not the issue I am having with this project. It’s the two contributors that are so coding assistants and the Claude directory.

            So, contribute yourself? This is how new software works. AI assisted coding is the norm. This is exhausting. Do you have any critiques of the code quality? See any bugs or errors? What is the problem here? Please don’t answer.

    Question: I do remember the days of those RSS buttons everywhere. But I never managed to see the value in it.

    Can anyone share their experience with following feeds, and how they consume this content? Is there some kind of spam/tracker free functionality that people enjoy? Are there apps out there that organize this in a way that changes the game?

    I’d like to give it another shot, sorry for all the questions.

      If you want news and articles from the sites you appreciate to come to you directly and not be filtered through social media first, RSS is what you want. You get every link, and often the full text of every post, and you aren’t at the whim of an algorithm.

      Spam-free? It’s literally only what you’ve specifically asked it to deliver you. If a site starts spamming its RSS feed, you just unsubscribe from the site.

      Tracker-free? There’s literally no way anyone could track you through RSS. It’s just an XML file and can’t run any arbitrary code.

      I use it for everything I can: news sites, blogs, YouTube channels, social media feeds for people whose content I don’t want to miss. There are even services that will let you subscribe to an email newsletter through one of their inboxes, and they’ll convert it to an RSS feed for you to follow so it doesn’t clog up your actual inbox. I especially like reading webcomics through it; it makes sure I get everything, and I don’t lose my place, get spoiled by a later post, or have to rely on the whims of social media.

      I love RSS.
