I really, *really* like blogs. So I made @powRSS
My bloghttps://enocc.com

My main issue with Emacs Lisp at this point (due to my own ignorance, of course) is not knowing about possible existing functions that could solve my problem. I'm used to searching documentation visually, reading over docs where I can see namespaces of classes / functions that handle my desired task.

Is the workflow really to call M-x apropos and hope that whatever I need will be matched by my search query?

Is it more recalling some function after reading others' code?

@django if it helps I also maintain a directory of websites with RSS feeds. Not sure if the poll was about finding folks to read in general or if it was the technical aspect of discovering the RSS/Atom file.

It's called powRSS

powRSS - Discover the Indie Web

powRSS is a public RSS feed aggregator for small and independent websites.

@django voted for the last one. I use Vivaldi browser and it shows a little icon on websites supporting RSS feeds.

@powRSS got a small shout out at the Düsseldorf Homebrew Website Club meeting from today!

Another HWC Düsseldorf has taken place this week, where we shared what we’ve been up to with our personal sites. Nina continued to write more and more for her homepage as well as work on the code. She started adding music to her blog posts. Jochen continues to make selfhosted tools and recently added a (private) “Archive” site where he adds podcasts episodes to, and transcribes the audio into text. I recently added the latest Polaroid to my homepage.

Building the Good Web

What does it actually mean to build a better web, and what do we owe each other in doing so? A response to the 32-bit Café thread about trust, onboarding, and the distance between knowing something is wrong and doing something about it.

Yukihiro Matsumoto:

“The computers don't care. We humans care about the effort we pay. Often people, especially computer engineers, focus on the machines. They think, ‘By doing this, the machine will run faster. By doing this, the machine will run more effectively. By doing this, the machine will something something something.’ They are focusing on machines. But in fact we need to focus on humans, on how humans care about doing programming or operating the application of the machines.”

I wonder if syndication on Gemini made the protocol always feel like an afterthought.

There is no incentive to prioritize Gemini when your content is a mirror of www / gopher.

Same goes for subdomains. It’s not a vote of confidence.

@yejokjanan thanks! More so my question was about solderpunk’s program gemfeed which generates an atom feed based on a gemlog directory. It’s a python script with unspecified dependencies so it took a little digging and reading of source code to get it working 😁

Kevin Boone gave a small shout out to @powRSS on his article “The ‘small web’ is bigger than you might think” 😁

Kevin Boone: The “small web” is bigger than you might think

The small web is growing, and getting more active. Good news.
