It seems the autodiscovery didn't work for my blog (link in profile). I've posted something 2 days ago but it doesn't appear on your site. My feed is on the list from JSTucker, who also used some sort of autodiscovery.

Oh, you mean in the feed preview. Yeah, they're sorted by publish date but I only display the last update date. I see that it's quite confusing, I'll fix that. Thanks!

The posts are sorted by date, newest being at the top. I haven't posted much in 2022 and 2023, so maybe "Jun → Dec → Mar → Dec" looks confusing if you miss the according year? Regarding Reeder, I've included the feed in

Author here. What many people claiming "RSS is dead" for the last 20+ years mean is that RSS-as-feed (for written content) is not mainstream, and that's somewhat true. Most podcast listeners don't have a proper RSS reade

Ah, makes sense!

Interesting idea. But another issue might be that RSS readers won't be able to parse the content correctly if it's not served as text/xml (just an assumption).

Thanks for your input. You're right, my statement is not fully correct and I will also update my post. What I mean with "regular" are commands like "rebase" - just running "git rebase" is not destructive i

Mine just hit 10 years. I've started out without thinking much about what I would write about. At one point I've defined some target groups to get a regular readership. This changed the way I wrote my posts, but not in a good way.
