Reading Lists are another kind of open source.
We’re not locking people in to our tools for making and running news products.
We want ours to be the best, but not the only way to make news products.
And by setting this example, we’re encouraging those who come after to do the same.
It’s how OPML became the export format for subscription lists.
We want to make sure people don’t lose that feeling. 😉
One response to “Why Reading Lists are so important for News Products”
I’m excited about this. One thing I plan to use the PagePark server I set up for is to serve my reading lists. That will make using different FeedLand instances 100x easier because I need to remember one feed URL and all instances will be in sync.
Portability is important!
