You could - just look at my website every once in a while, but that gets old. A better - way is to use my RSS file. Here's how. - </p> - - <p> - An RSS file, if you don't know, is a file containing a list of posts in a - format that's so stupid even computers can understand it. Mine is at - <a href="https://joeac.net/blog/rss.xml">https://joeac.net/blog/rss.xml</a>. - Since computers can understand it, you can get software to read it - automatically and tell you when I've made a new blog post. That's much less - hassle than having to check manually yourself! - </p> - - <p> - I'm not the only person serving RSS files, of course. You might not have - heard of them, but they're actually all over the Web. In the early days of - the Web, everyone was using them, so they've ended up built in to a whole - load of foundational Web technology, and hence ubiquitous, even if most - Web users have forgotten they exist. Once you've subscribed to my blog, - you can subscribe to basically any blog, podcast, or YouTube channel, and - a lot of other Websites for news, organisations, whatever. Point a - well-designed RSS aggregator or RSS reader at most Websites, and it'll - automatically find an associated RSS feed. - </p> - - <p> - If you're not persuaded, try reading - <a href="https://doctorow.medium.com/you-should-be-using-an-rss-reader-76aed31151f9"> - Cory Doctorow explaining why RSS is ridiculously good - </a>. He's terrifyingly persuasive. Also, read his novels! - </p> - - <p> - If you just want to give it a go quickly, probably the quickest way is to - use someone else's RSS aggregator that they'll let you use as a service. - <a href="https://feedly.com/news-reader">Feedly</a> and - <a href="https://www.inoreader.com">Inoreader</a> have free tiers. - </p> - - <p> - If you want to have a little more control, you can self-host an RSS - reader, like <a href="https://tt-rss.org">Tiny Tiny RSS</a>, - <a href="https://miniflux.app">Miniflux</a>, or - <a href="https://freshrss.org">FreshRSS</a>. But why would you do that? - Self-hosting is complicated! Why not just use a normal, local app? Here are - some options for that you might want to investigate. All these are active - free and open-source software projects at the time of writing. - </p> - - <ul> - <li><a href="https://hyliu.me/fluent-reader">Fluent Reader</a> (Linux, Windows, Mac, also mobile I think?)</li> - <li><a href="https://www.rssowl.org">RSSOwl</a> (Linux, Windows, Mac)</li> - <li><a href="https://capyreader.com">Capy Reader</a> (Android)</li> - <li><a href="https://apps.kde.org/en-gb/akregator">Akregator</a> (Linux, Windows (unstable))</li> - <li><a href="https://gfeeds.gabmus.org">GFeeds</a> (Linux)</li> - <li><a href="https://lzone.de/liferea">Liferea</a> (Linux)</li> - </ul> - - <p> - For the terminally geeky, there is also - <a href="https://newsboat.org">Newsboat</a>. I used it for ages, it works - fabulously, but it's all in the terminal, so you have to be OK with that. - </p> - - <p> - You can also just enter 'RSS feed reader' into your favourite search - engine, software distribution, or app store and see what comes up. Try - adding 'FOSS' into the query to prioritise free, open-source software. - </p> - </section> -</Page> |
