You sort of, kind of, maybe just asked for roughly what RSS (Really Simple Syndication) provides...although your wish is more of a "pull", while RSS is more of a "push" in content access/distribution. :-) Don't get me wrong, I'm in agreement with you. I wish every website, web app, well, pretty much everything digital had an automated RSS feed available to consume and subscribe to!
- lou1306 3y agoWith RSS you are at the mercy of the server, though. The content creator may only syndicate an excerpt of the whole article, remove pictures or formatting, yada yada. But yes the Web would be so much nicer if more websites provided at least some form of content syndication...
- mxuribe 3y agoAgreed, one would definitely be at the mercy of the author/content creator...but I often feel like someone who is willing to offer an RSS feed probably would likely enable easier consumption of their content even if one needs to actually visit the website. Of course tthat is a very broad generalization I'm making. But you're certainly not wrong.
