4 min read

The first time icon of RSS I see is in the CD show. I even don’t know what exactly is it. It appeared in the product birthed in last 10 years in China mainland.

And then, when I have some spare time in 2020, I notice it again. I wonder whether it have some interesting story or not. And at that point, I use a simple and not well reader to subscribe RSS. And just feeling amazing, and feel sad as well, like (by the way, they’re sucks)

If you host a RSS link, you’ve well done. I would appreciate you 😘

Why

Build self host info flow ⇒ only focus on some fields.

How

Backup and share your subscription.

RSS workflow

draws/flow.book.excalidraw

  • When rss failed, go to Inoreader - Take back control of your news feed. Subscribe, and find the old articles.
  • When you seeing a good source, you shouldn’t subscribe immediately, you should save a read latter and done it as soon as possible. Because it will accumulate while you don’t care it. Yet it might be a instant source, so it will be spam in the future. In deeper, I take rss more than a reading tool, but their origional purpose, notification.
    • How to build a good flow of reading latter? When I meet a good blog.
  • RSS + Raindrop + Export to Each Platform

Trash Category

I devided the feed to 2 parts:

Find RSS

Some websites will include element whose type is application/atom+xml or application/rss+xml. They would include RSS link.

<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="${source.title}" href="${source.url}">

And following are some address they mostly used:

./feed
./rss.xml
./feed.xml
./atom.xml
./rss/index.xml
./index.xml
./rss
./rss/rss
./rss/rss.xml
<!-- Z-Blog via: https://bbs.zblogcn.com/thread-3527.html-->
./feed.asp?user=userID
./feed.asp?tags=TagID
<!-- Youtube -->
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=<channel_id>
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=<playlist_id>

What I used in past and recommend now

I prefer like the brave build-in RSS reader😭

Half-text RSS sucks, this is over-design

Some website not support output full-text RSS, so we have to open in browser to read. Luckily, we could get full-text RSS through parse url, most rss reader support that. But even more, they change the output format of HTML, and they wouldn’t support full-text fetch. You will always see following page:

I know they want to get more actual views, to get more money ads brings. But it’s really likely say:

“Do you want me to tell this stuff?” “Suck my dick first, reader 😝”

They’re not solving anything, and having put the situation more complex!
