This is great. RSS is springing back to life. All it need was for people to reject the hype that came largely from big companies that wanted to and did takeover,
Thanks Dave! Actually I was meaning to reach out, as parsing your site's RSS brought broader support for the format to the entire site. Those title-less blog posts were something else :D I didn't know much about the history of RSS going into this, so I might be your newest fan. Thanks for all of your contributions to the free and open web.
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.
Could you elaborate? I thought upgrading to HTTPS wouldn't involve redoing any sites, no changes to the HTML/CSS/JS/server side code, except for the TLS configuration and maybe replacing links from "http:" to "https:" but that's optional. I'd like to hear how it requires redoing a website?
did you read the part about how https doesn't protect us from the browser vendor, ie google?
They tell us to worry about man-in-the-middle attacks that might modify content, but fail to mention that they can do it in the browser, even if you use a "secure" protocol. They are the one entity you must trust above all. No way around it.
All other arguments you're presenting about HTTPS being easy (it is, have you tried Caddy) are moot. It's the sites that were made before Google took over control that aren't maintained that are at issue. And the idea that a for-profit company that no one should trust is saying they're the only ones you have to trust.
And the fact that many of us adopted the web because it was a platform that no company controlled. If it had been presented as Google's platform I would have run the other way and would have advised you to do the same. But now I'm invested. My freedom as a developer depends on the integrity of the web. And a web controlled by Google isn't the web.
Google has a nasty habit of taking control of open protocols and then trashing them.
Roll up your sleeves, make some quiet time and actually READ THE DOCUMENT.
Works on a few machines / connections I tried. Perhaps you should switch to a better browser or change your ISP if they don't let you visit websites that are on the web.
