> XSLT can be replaced with a polyfill
Show me how a polyfill allows me to type https://example.com/rss.xml https://example.com/rss.xml in the URL bar and have it transformed to HTML in the browser?
- kstrauser 1y agoI don’t think I’ve ever wanted to read an RSS feed directly, although I subscribe to a lot of them. Is that a popular reading method?
- troupo 1y agoIt's a popular presentation format for RSS feeds. And you don't need to somehow attach a Javascript polyfill to an XML feed to make it readable for humans
- em-bee 1y agoi do that frequently, especially on podcast feeds where i am not actually interested in the rss entries but in the linked audio files. the rss reader doesn't play those well.
- em-bee 1y agohow do you do that with anything else? firefox doesn't load the file at all, but loads it into an external tool which (gasp!) is chrome. chrome displays the raw xml.
