I thought no one cared about RSS. Turns out people do. Just not RSS itself

  I got the ick from Google News and couldn’t find a news app that just showed my sources, algorithm-free. So I shipped a human-first iOS app without mentioning RSS anywhere. Just “follow the sites you want to read.” 2 weeks in: Thousands of downloads, zero ads. Long live the Really Simple Syndication.

    Thank you. For a post that didn't mention AI and for a refresher on consumer psychology, I do thank you.

      Well, you know, someone has to produce original content so the machines have something to steal. (I feel you)
