Rososo: ultrasimple RSS
- markbao 18y agoWow, this is brilliant. Very useful for me who always checks blogs over and over for new content.
- unalone 18y agoYeah. If you haven't seen it, the guy who made this also made NowDoThis(.com). It's the sort of stuff I call "zenware": stuff so simple you can't tinker with it. It's great.
- markbao 18y agoReally? Wow, I respect this guy.
- unalone 18y agoHe's a bit controversial - Gawker loathes him - but for me, all that matters is that he makes good apps. He's had his hand in some other big things, too: www.jakoblodwick.com has a partial list, and he was one of the CollegeHumor founders. (Talk about an increase in taste.)
- dmv 18y agoI like the simple but dramatic screenshot
- nazgulnarsil 18y agoRSS readers never work with certain blogs i read for some reason.
- unalone 18y agoWhat do you mean, "never work?"
- nazgulnarsil 18y agothey don't update correctly from certain blogspot blogs. maybe it's something on my end.
- trevorturk 18y agoNice simple idea, but I won't be using it because it won't be as efficient as browsing headlines/summaries from many sites as once. Still, this could find a decent little niche.
- rw 18y agoDoes this require cookies? I enabled Javascript and it still doesn't (seem to) work.
- unalone 18y agoIt might. I'm not certain.
- th0ma5 18y agoi don't get it... a concept?
- unalone 18y agoI've been using it as my main newsreader for a few days. It's done pretty well so far.
- th0ma5 18y agoah! i loaded it in linux last night, and the css or something isn't right and could only see the screenshot. then, now in xp, it says http://news.ycombinator.com/rss http://news.ycombinator.com/rss is a bad feed, which is ironic. they wrote their own rss logic or something? i thought others were worrying about such things now
- unalone 18y agoKnowing the creator, I'd guess that they made it from scratch.
- maxklein 18y agoWhat? I added a blog and I did not see any feeds. It just gave me a link to the blog, I clicked through, came back and the link was gone.
- unalone 18y agoYeah. That's how it works. The link appears when there's been an update. Until then it's listed as a "stale bookmark."
