- neilv 9mo agoFor a personal site, I'd probably just do that. (My friends are generally savvy and principled enough not to do most social media, so no need for me to endorse it by syndicating there.) But for a commercial marketing site that must be on the awful social media, I'm wondering about quietly supporting RSS/Atom without compromising the experience for the masses.
- rednafi 9mo agoFair. For commercial sites and pretty much anything you want more eyeballs on, you need to put them on the social media.
- ModernMech 9mo agoWith the lack of styling, I'm sorry to say I didn't notice the RSS icon at first at all. Adding the typical orange background to the icon would fix that.
- rednafi 9mo agoFair criticism. I'm trying to find a way to present that without being obnoxious.
- uhoh-itsmaciek 9mo agoMaybe a rounded border? I agree it's too subtle as is. Also, your Segal's Law link seems to have an encoding issue with the apostrophe.
- rednafi 9mo agoYeah rounded border seems like a good idea. Also, weird, seems like I don't see the encoding issue on the segal's law.
- rambambram 9mo agoI think you did just fine. The orange can be very obnoxious indeed, and just the icon is more than enough for people actually looking for it. PS: I found out I was already subscribed to your feed.
- rednafi 9mo agoThanks for the sub :) Yeah, the idea was that since RSS is still considered niche by the broader audience, those who are looking for it will probably find it just fine.
