Why FeedLand?
This question came up in my weekly chat with Christie earlier today. Why is A8C offering FeedLand as a service? There are still a lot of users and feeds, and new sources of feeds, from Mastodon, and other social networks. In other words, RSS is moving again. I made a new platform to do new…

A new FeedLand bookmarklet?
Here’s the scenario: 1. I’m looking at a story on a site that’s really good. 2. This is the second story I’ve read recently from that site, both were good. 3. I should subscribe to this site. 4. Click the bookmarklet. If the site has a feed, I’m subscribed. If not, a dialog appears saying…

Getting started here
I’m going to start using this blog to write up questions for the group of people working on FeedLand, also people helping me with this blog and with Miriam on Scripting News. Rather than starting five new blogs, I’ll just flow it all here first, and if the title of the blog needs to change,…
