I hope you’ll allow me to indulge in silly posts. They’re occasionally very fun to write. I strongly disagree with you when you say that Twitter has replaced RSS. Twitter is a minefield. And I don’t remember RSS being a constant fight to av

It’s just a curated list of all sorts of random links, stored on airtable. The site is as low tech as it gets. I was just trying to make something fun and help people discover interesting sites. It’s mostly personal sites/blogs and som

I’ll second this. Reeder is great and the latest version does let you use iCloud to sync feeds across different devices.

I find that particularly amusing because Parabola is exactly how we call satellite dishes here in Italy. It’s technically called Antenna Parabolica but plenty of people simply call it Parabola (at least here up north)

I'm going to add my personal take on this issue since I'm currently running a blog that's markdown-ish powered. In my opinion the best solution is to find some sort of happy medium. Static site generators are excellent in ter

You might want to give the combination of 1Blocker ( https://1blocker.com/ ) and NextDNS ( https://nextdns.io/ ) a try. Personally using both on all my Apple devices and they work great IMO.
