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…

I write all my source code in outline form, using Frontier, and generate files of JavaScript, HTML and Markdown from the outline. It makes it easier for me to develop complex applications without the complexity getting in the way, and also to fully document the code in the code itself without making it harder to…

Good morning! The new version of the FeedLand user docs is now available in first rough release. I still want to go through every page, slowly and carefully, to make sure the info is correct, and to consider things that may need explanation that aren’t well explained. Who the docs are for Team members. These…

I have a FL icon in my browser window, the second one after Gmail, and now it points at the A8C instance, not feedland.org. I’m going to try to make this my main feedland. I think at this point it may be possible to do this, after the recent fixes. What domain name to use?…

Yesterday I posted an item here on the FeedLand blog about the WP-Projects news product at wpprojects.feedland.dev. Today I’d like to explain what the wpprojects list is, from my point of view, and why it is so unique and important and imho visionary. You can download the list itself in OPML by clicking on the…

This is the most useful and imho amazing News Product site so far on FeedLand. It may ultimately be the one that proved the concept, once and for all. It’s that momentous, of course, imho, ymmv etc. https://wpprojects.feedland.dev/ It’s a reverse chronologic list of new posts written by people who Automattic works with. How to…

Fernando has fixed the caching problem and now the test for the memory fix function returns a good result. So here’s the plan now that we’ve passed this hurdle I’m working on something related to News Products that I want to show, hopefully later today. After that is delivered, I will switch over to testing…

This is not strictly about FeedLand. Suppose I have an idea for an editor for WordPress posts. I have a constraint, the editor can’t save any information about the post that isn’t in the HTML code for the post. This severely limits the kinds of editors developers can write. Instead if WordPress had the idea…
