Re: How I decide if your website is worth a revisit
#12Hey, kinda new here. Would like to know your thoughts on this. Would be interested in knowing how you decide if some blog which you hop on from HN or elsewhere is worth a second visit. HN is one of the few places which is filled with people who use RSS a lot even today, so thought it would be worth submitting this article here I wrote to get some discussion going Also to make it clear, this is a self-submission. Alth…
Two questions: 1. Where's the link to the RSS feed on your site 2. What RSS feed reader are you using?
Here's the RSS: https://cd.is-a.dev/index.xml
My site has the appropriate HTML tags to hint your browser about where the RSS feed is. Also it's also mentioned on the homepage along with my other social media links.
For the RSS Reader, I am using Livemarks with FireFox, works pretty well for me

The tag is present on https://cd.is-a.dev/posts/ but missing from the post pages.

Thanks for pointing out! I'll try to fix it ASAP

#16The number one reason is good content, the other seem superfluous. It’s nice if it’s not published in a walled garden, but it’s not a stopper. Then I personally don’t care about needing JS to view the site (it’s 2024…) nor the RSS feed. And regarding the no-captcha, never found one to read the site besides Cloudfare versification from time to time, and it doesn’t bother me.
Information foraging. If the effort to obtain the promised payoff is more than perceived value, then I won’t bother.

#17How do I do RSS if I have mathematical articles on my website? RSS doesn’t seem to support MathML.

#18Doing all this is a great way to reduce your reading list to a bunch of boring developer blogs. If you love reading people's 2c about their favourite static site generator , you'll have a bottomless content goblet to drink from.

In 2024, shouldn't hacker news visitors get that receiving a passive document to display locally is a thing, and having to run unaudited code from random strangers on your machine all the time is quite another? Then reopen the conversation about browser security?
Or, instead, get that simplicity is our ally, but unneeded complexity is the root of much evil?
Visit e.g. any stackexchange site with script disabled and be enlightened.

#20I think what's often underestimated is actually the performance improvement you get from removing trackers.
I did so 2 months ago for our landing page and it now loads 4 times faster [1].
Fun fact. All the tracking I removed I am not missing at all because I actually never used it [2].
