Does anybody still have a personal "blank page" when they open a new browser tab?

With shortcuts to your favorite links, little widgets with live data you're interested in?

That was a thing on the old web. I'm going to start one for myself again.

@pixelambacht that's one reason I built https://rs.sjoy.lol :)
RS.S JOY.lol | dev

A page full of links to front-end dev and dev-adjacent bloggers, their RSS feeds and their most recent posts. The page refreshes at least 4 times a day. The blog cards are randomised each time.

@sarajw Oh this is super cool! Thanks for sharing!
@pixelambacht you're very welcome!
@sarajw (Oh ps. the links to Bruce Lawson's blog don't work, I think the URI is used instead if the full URL?)
@pixelambacht aha! Thanks for that, I'll take a look later :)

@pixelambacht

I don't like to just pass the buck, but @brucelawson maybe you have time to take a look - in your feed, the full URL per post isn't included with it - only the relative path from your domain.

If this is correct under RSS/Atom, then fine, and I'll have to add a bunch more code to my parser! If not - this is a heads-up :)

Edit: Seems it's totally valid to have relative links here - even if it's recommended to have the absolute URLs. So it's not wrong.

@sarajw Hmm. I *think* relative URLs are ligit in RSS, but not sure. (TBH I just use WordPress default RSS, but I do use relative links all the time for perf reasons. If I can work out how to tweak it, I will.) @pixelambacht

@brucelawson I've made it work now with relative paths, so we're good.

I've probably broken something else in the process!
