RSS

What Is RSS? 

Like a dashboard that combined your subscribed websites together into one page. Instead of manually bookmarking and visiting individual sites it automatically aggregated them for you before we had social media. 

Benefit of rss 

Maybe less addictive/brain damaging. The info isn’t filtered by a complex algorithm designed to keep you endlessly scrolling. It displays the newest articles on top and if you run out of articles that’s it.

With reddit now charging for their API people are pissed their favorite 3rd party readers aren’t working. Made me think of olden times.

NetNewsWire is the app i chose to roll with. I like it’s dark theme. I like how you can make a widget on your Home Screen to show latest articles/ unread articles.
