[Sponsor] npx workos: From Auth Integration to Environment Management, Zero ClickOps

workos.com/docs/authkit/cli-installer?utm_source=daringfireball&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=q12026

npx workos@latest launches an AI agent, powered by Claude, that reads your project, detects your framework, and writes a complete auth integration into your codebase. No signup required. It creates an environment, populates your keys, and you claim your account later when you’re ready.

But the CLI goes way beyond installation. WorkOS Skills make your coding agent a WorkOS expert. workos seed defines your environment as code. workos doctor finds and fixes misconfigurations. And once you’re authenticated, your agent can manage users, orgs, and environments directly from the terminal. No more ClickOps.

Video demo: Using categories in FeedLand for dynamic OPML lists.

Happy to report there are FeedLand users who want to edit OPML lists there so they can subscribe to them in another feed reader that has support for dynamic OPML lists. I am happy because this is a very cool feature that will be so much more fun if other people use it. If you want to set it up so you have a list on feedland.com that you want to subscribe to in another reader, instead of subscribing to all your feeds, like this -- create a category for each list you want to hook up to another reader. It will be much easier to manage down the road. Categories in FeedLand are very simple, but if you use them carefully, they really help. Here's a screen shot of my Cats menu to give you an idea. I really use FeedLand in the most powerful ways, but it'll really click when others do the same. We might be there now.

How to use categories in FeedLand for dynamic OPML lists

Suppose you want to manage a set of subscriptions in FeedLand and subscribe to the list in other feed readers? We're going to see that soon in popular feed readers, very exciting development for the web.

The key is to "use a category" to get started, so if you decide a feed shouldn't be part of that list, you can still subscribe to it in your main list. It really is simple, and I walk you through it in this demo. Eventually you'll learn so much you'll want to start another list, and then just create another category.

Very low tech and totally worth getting the hang of.

Doesn’t Anybody Want To Win This Wretched Division?

Doesn’t Anybody Want To Win This Wretched Division?

When Connor McDavid speaks, Edmonton listens because, well, who else is there? The man wasn't nicknamed McJesus for his knowledge of canonical law.

Thus, when he was asked after the latest Oilers' sack-fouling, a 5-2 home loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday, the two-time Stanley Cup finalist and no-time Stanley Cup champion went for subtle condemnation of his division. Depending on whose interpretation you choose to embrace, he also may have quietly groined his own team and its coach. We hesitate to be more definitive because even the ultra-polite Canadian soul gets very snippy in public when the local hockey team is disappointing the customers.

But McDavid used the entire wretched Pacific Division as cover for his own team's current run of walking, and it is a very stylish way of saying, "We stink, too."
