Nowadays I see these sites as nothing else but mining grounds for personal profiling by big tech. Nothing can be a cutesy show-off anymore.
What does this mean exactly?
A directory of people who love RSS

#72It's great to see someone else using FeedLand. While it has some quirks, is has some clever ideas, like that blogroll feature. My favorite part of FeedLand is that you can see who subscribes to a blog and where else they subscribe. This makes RSS feel social, without the algorithmic tricks of traditional social media. Here's the listing for my blog, for example: https://feedland.com/?feedurl=https%3A%2F%2Falexsci.com…
It was designed that way, patterned after social media, where you share all that info. I wanted to see if it would work in RSS, and it came out pretty good. We're going to have a new version pretty soon, hooking it up with RSS.chat.
Thanks for RSS, sir.

#73the format wars ended and the prize was that nobody won and we all just use a different feed reader for the rest of our lives

#75Wow, what timing. Not to shill, but I'm also nearly done building a directory of RSS feeds. It stemmed from a frustration of outdated and broken RSS feed collections, and the long slow death of the orange RSS subscribe button across the web. I'm not officially launched yet but I would love some feedback and maybe some of the RSS feeds that land in your directory can be added to mine. https://rssvault.org Password is…
I generally want a posts/day count on any feed I subscribe to. Many of these are content mills with 20+ posts per day I have no intention in sifting through.

#76If you love RSS, embrace Atom 1.0 :) Its the final modern form of RSS.
Atom was killed by podcasts

Atom was killed by podcasts. Tbh RSS 2.0 is good enough

Claude? (Not judging, just testing my radar)
Yes, with several months of iteration. I've wanted to build this for years but to get it to the point where it's a quality destination is an effort beyond the time I would have been able to contribute.
Sure. I have a few projects like that, myself. Good luck with it.

Yeah I'm focused on including more of the Indie Web. I include BBC, NYT, etc. because people expect it, but the directory already has some real depth worth exploring. And each feed details page has a cadence rating to tell you how often they post. So grouping a firehose with a specialty blog that posts 6 times a year probably isn't a good idea, but an OPML full of blogs that post ~monthly would be a delight, IMO.
