I was asked about the difference between feedland.com and feedland.org. Which should you create a new account on? feedland.org runs on a small Digital Ocean server, and feedland.com runs in a data center. The first is a fixed-size relatively small scale server that can’t expand, and the latter is designed to scale automatically according to…

I’ve got the News Product runtime open and am working on it today, probably tomorrow too. Added a feature that lets you write a very simple one-like JavaScript expression to decide if an element is displayed in a news product timeline. You can see it in the JSON spec for the site. Here’s the expression:…

Reading lists are a relatively new feature, and we’re still cleaning up bits like this one. Suppose I have subscribed to a feed, then subscribe to a reading list that includes that feed. Then I will see the feed twice in the list. One in green, indicating its from a feeding list, and one in…

I have a bunch of feedCorps reading lists, started in October. At the time, I developed a distribution system for them, and a process for updating reading lists. I just added some subscriptions to my podcasts reading list, and am about to re-discover and document the process for updating a list. The goal is to…

I’m working on the next rev of the API for news products, and along with it a new more flexible runtime. For now, here’s a screen shot of the new news.scripting.com, which is the prototype site I’m working with.

Andrew Hickey is one of my favorite bloggers, and it’s somewhat weird because.. He blogs on Bluesky but it works because.. John Spurlock added RSS 2.0 feeds for Bluesky, built on their API, I am able to subscribe Hickey’s observations in FeedLand, because.. Of course FeedLand understands RSS. And it all happened without getting complicated.…

I was starting to think how I wanted to use my outbound feed  on feedland.com and then I had the usual not happy feeling that it’s indelibly bound to data.feedland.com, and if I ever want to move it, it’ll be a pain in the butt. This is what it looks like. https://data.feedland.com/feeds/davewiner.xml But then I…

Using Scripting News as a model, three ways to view my blogroll of bloggers — a timeline a list of HTML links you can click on with a few comments about why you find them interesting (traditional view of a blogroll) an OPML subscription list that can be subscribed to right now on my blog…

Yesterday we got updates from our own sources to show up on feedland.com in real time. There was an incompatibility in the way our rssCloud service provider sent pings to the new server. This is a milestone for me, because finally my own feeds, such as my linkblog and Scripting News, appear on feedland.com instantly, as…

A new project this morning, feedlandRiverInclude. The minimum you need to be able to include a timeline from FeedLand in a browser-based app. Just a few lines of JavaScript and a bunch of includes.
