Hey – Installed Fraidycat (FC) and tested with DaringFireball (DF) feed. I see it shows the DF title and links to whatever 3rd party link DF is reporting on. Title: The Unicorns Fell Into a Ditch Link: bloomberg article In this example the title is pretty much meaningless so I need DF's take on the topic before I make a decision to go off and visit Bloomberg. My existing RSS feed provides DF's blog content (text). So…
Also BTW, I joined Fish yesterday. Today I went to login and I couldn't. My password/email was definitely correct. So I tried resetting. When adding a new password the error message kept telling me that my new passwords didn't match. I used a special character (&) in my password. I removed the ampersand and was able to reset password, and log back in. Sorry if this isn't the correct channel for bugs (feel free to red…

#123The word is niche . There are 2 major factors that will power a resurgence, that could use better tools: 1. Discoverability - self-reinforcing webrings, blogrolls, directories, ad free-search etc. 2. Creation - next-gen Dreamweaver. A low-code site creator app that exports a static website as a folder of readable CSS/HTML that people can tinker with by hand (and learn), instead of being locked into one of these cloud…

That's cool - thanks Pixxel! So Fraidycat literally just grabs the title and link from each post in the feed - so it has to do with how DF formats its feed. It appears that the JSON feed works correctly tho: https://daringfireball.net/feeds/json Also, there is a redesign underway that will give richer post view: https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat/issues/30
Awesome, many thanks :)
