Here’s a nice url to look at. https://lists.feedcorps.org/ It returns an OPML file that you can open in Drummer. https://drummer.land/?url=http://lists.feedcorps.org/ Each of the headlines in the outline is an include node, which means when you expand it, it gets the contents of the outline at the address in its url attribute, and inserts it below…

Late last week I quickly set up lists.feedcorps.org, as a way to view the collection of reading lists we’re creating on the new support repo on GitHub. I have an idea where I want to go with this, and today I did some light cleanups, to make it work properly. Note this site is served…

Last night I released new versions of feedland and feedlanddatabase with the implementation of reading lists. This morning I wrote the instructions for upgrading, and changed the setup instructions so it sets up the new version. All of this has been very sparsely tested, and only by me, and esp with the upgrade instructions, by…

I currently have four news products powered by the A8c instance of FeedLand, with plans for more in the works: Here is how I set them up: Gathering Sources and making the OPML files I started with the WP Special Projects site list. We have our own CLI with a command to export a site…

Something fun to close off today. https://lists.feedcorps.org/nyt.opml?format=opml This works too.. https://lists.feedcorps.org/wordpress-make-teams.opml?format=opml A curious thing happens if you drop the ?format=opml at the end. 🙂 More on this to come, real soon now.

Every time I reload the All category in FeedLand, I spend the four seconds it takes to load the page thinking about ways around this problem. And I think for premium users (ie paying customers) we will cache their page, and rebuild it every five minutes, so they are pretty much guaranteed it’ll be there,…

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…

For the next few days I’ll be working on getting reading lists working in FeedLand. I’ve been using lots of different terminology for this, now settling on reading lists because that’s the consistent name for this feature we’ve been using for years. We must have this feature in conjunction that that work I want to…

As I did last week, I’ll post links here to topics of interest. Should we help users map domains to their news products? I’ve started to work on Supervisor mode. I backed out of doing Supervisor mode for now. I reconsidered doing Supervisor mode after relaxing and thinking some, I figured out what the problem…

New in feedLandHome v0.5.6. New Cats menu lists all the categories you have defined in the Settings command. Select an item in the menu, to go to the Feed List page for that category. The main headline on that page will have a new > element, the category name that you’re viewing. The category that…
