  • Sorry this happened, and super appreciate it. I imagine this happened to a bunch of other people. I’m adding better error monitoring around it now to try and figure out why. It’s happening in a very narrow area, so I should be able to detect it soon, but I unfortunately don’t know how to replicate it. If you don’t mind another ping later, I might ask if you can try pressing that resend button again soon.


  • Same concept, different implementation. FreshRSS is a PHP app, in my opinion… a little ugly, still super functional of course. I wanted to try to create something with a more modern UX, and try to appeal to not just the tech folks. FreshRSS still supports things I don’t yet, like WebSub, but give me some time to catch up. I have the massive benefit of just starting much later when many awesome libraries and AI exist.

    I actually started this API in Go, and it was nearly complete before I started over entirely in Node. And I did that so that it could run in serverless environments. You can of course still run this in Docker Compose, but it’s actually focused on Cloudflare deployments, where you can run this entirely for free.




  • Appreciate you letting me know! I just signed up a new dummy account and it seems to have worked. But no one else has gotten an email in the last 2 hours from what I can see. But at the moment its hard to tell if there is an issue or just, no one has signed up in the last two hours. It looks like a need to double check my monitoring setup to see if I can catch this.

    Give it another shot, it worked for me just now (same deployment). If you can, have your network tab open and let me know if you see any failures. I’ll try to make sure I can see that easier.




  • 😆 . It’s a real problem though. So is prioritization. Algorithms aren’t bad, dark patterns are. The main issue with any algorithm, even if fully open, it, by definition, has to be biased in some way. I’m going to save this problem for much further down the road, but for discovery, I took the first step on that.

    Tricorder! https://github.com/TechSquidTV/Tuvix-Tricorder-Extension

    I broke out the package that does the feed discovery in tuvix and publish it separately. Now you can use it as a chrome plugin to add a subscribe page to any website. It is currently pending review on the Chrome web store. I haven’t yet submitted to Firefox or others.



  • AGPL v3. Take that as you may. I’m *open *to changing it. I just wanted to give the project a chance to thrive without someone just hosting it as a paid app and calling it a day. That makes it so that if anyone does want to create a commercial product from this, they would need to offer up the source. My monetization plans only extend to possibly offering an additional plan on the hosted version to help cover hosting costs (which right now are $10 a month and I am covering that, it may become $30 a month if this gets popular).
