The XML is the feed, so many feed readers will accept the XML link. I tried it in Feedly, elfeed, and NewsBlur and they all accept the XML link, but Inoreader and Feedbro don't see the feed. I'd like to get the working with as many feed readers as possible so I'll look into what I need to change to get it working with those two. Which reader are you currently using?
- webspinner 2y agoSure, I understand the XML is the feed. I just have a feed preview extension installed so I can look at RSS feeds in the browser. They help with accessibility at times, as I do use a screen reader. I set up The Old Reader so I could give myself back some feeds! I was in between readers, as I was testing a bunch. It was The Old Reader that said it was invalid.
- jayemar 2y agoOkay, I made some changes that should make the format a little more universal. And thank you very much for your patience with this while I work out some kinks. The initial link you had may still work, or you can try this new one: https://refeed.to/feeds/4rVrwlAG.xml https://refeed.to/feeds/4rVrwlAG.xml
- webspinner 2y agoThat works, thanks!
- webspinner 2y agoIf you have any suggestions for a better and accessible feed reader, I'd certainly appreciate them! I've been looking for exactly 11 years now!
- jayemar 2y agoUnfortunately, I doubt I have anything useful to suggest. I've been a very happy use of Feedly for years, but I don't know how well they do with accessibility or how screen reader-friendly it might be. The best I can offer is a list of web-based readers that I used to test that my links could be read, but if you've been on the hunt for that long then I'd guess you've already looked into all of these, and I don't know how accessible any of them are, either. But just in case it's at all helpful: - https://feedly.com - https://www.inoreader.com - https://www.newsblur.com - Feedbro, a Firefox extension - https://theoldreader.com (mentioned by you) - elfeed (an Emacs package, so not web-based)
- webspinner 2y agoI haven't looked into Feedly lately. When I tested Feedbro, I wasn't able to access it at all, unfortunately! I suppose I could try again.
