FeedCity

Some feeds weren’t updating in the last hours. This is fixed now and updates have caught up.

Fixed an issue with links in post: if they are relative URLs, they no get converted to absolute ones, so you can actually navigate to them.

A feed file - be it in RSS, Atom, or JSON format - can contain quite a bit of useful information. And I think this is underutilised by a lot of existing feed readers. This is true for both feed level attributes as well as feed entry level attributes. On the feed level, even ...

There’s been a problem with updating feeds the last few hours. The problem is fixed now, and the updates are currently catching up.

I’ve changed and refined icons for the “Subscriptions” and “Feeds” pages, as well as for “Lists”, “Audio” and “Video”. And the “adding a feed to a list”-UI has seen a tiny improvement, too.

FeedCity is currently not reachable. I’m looking into it!

Update: Never mind. Just after I published this, everything seems to be back to normal. /Daniel

Fixed a bug with “Load more” pagination.

I made some rather subtle changes to how links look.

There’s a new “Go To” functionality available, to quickly navigate to any of your feeds or lists.

The option is currently only shown on the navigation menu for larger screens, until the feature’s usability has been improved (in general, too, but in particular for those smaller screens).

Earth has a new city: FeedCity. Where anyone can become a citizen and follow their favourite RSS feeds (and Atom and JSON feeds, too, of course).

Read more about what FeedCity is on its home page and/or by reading the announcement I published on my personal site.

On this very blog, I plan to write about all things RSS, Atom, JSON (and probably also a little bit about microformats and the Fediverse), announce new features or explain design decisions of existing ones.

If you want to follow along, you can subscribe in the following ways:

• Via RSS feed (also on FeedCity).
• Via JSON feed (also on FeedCity).
• In the Fediverse (Mastodon etc.): @FeedCity@news.feed.city.

You can also contact me at mail@feed.city.
