Tested this with the RSS feed for https://plurrrr.com/ https://plurrrr.com/ and it works great! Go to https://srv.tt-rss.org/tt-rss/#f=12&c=0 https://srv.tt-rss.org/tt-rss/#f=12&c=0 (user: demo, password: demo). Only thing that was confusing was that it takes some time (like 40 seconds?) before the feed is fetched the first time; it looked for a while like something went wrong with my feed as nothing showed up. Maybe some placeholder until the feed is fetched?

Oh right, I just had the same experience, I thought it was failing and went to some RSS validators to be sure I didn't have something incorrect in my setup. When I went back to the srv.tt-rss.org instance after a few minutes my articles were there. The initial UX could be improved, that's for sure!

The fetching of content is done by a long-running update daemon that is separate from any PHP code that is the UI. The worker code is pretty naive, does not use a blocking queue etc, and sleeps for a configured interval before the next feed update run.

It's normal. A half year or so back I logged in to the demo instance and added my 1.4 MB .opml list of RSS sources. It loaded about the first couple hundred from each folder. But only after I waited a while.

I tried out the TTRSS with another feed and saw what you did - there's definitely about a minute gap between adding a RSS feed until those articles are processed and available in the web view. I assume it's due to the current heavy use, or perhaps it's being throttled. Slight offtopic; I love your microblog Plurrr - the site and code are clear, simple, and get the job done. I poked around the code a bit because I'm interested in starting my own microblog. A quick question: in your CSS file located at https://plurrrr.com/soothe.css https://plurrrr.com/soothe.css , the code declares font-family: San Fransisco - is that a misspelling of San Francisco or does the CSS spec mandate that spelling?

  CSS spec doesn't mandate specific font names, those are decided by the font creator or css author. San Francisco is Apple's new (?) font that replaced Helvetica Neue. The typo might be intentional--I had to intentionally use the wrong name for a Windows system font in my @font-face stylesheet recently to ensure the browser wouldn't use the system version (fake-bold italic looked better than bold fake-italic in the headings, and I couldn't find a bold-italic version)

  Thank you very much for catching that, it's a typo for sure. I'll fix it today. And thank you for the compliments!
