Hacker News Reader

I love this writer. Terrific writer and excellent sense of obscure yet fascinating topics. My only complaint is that the posts don’t seem to timely appear in my RSS reader - not sure I’ve ever seen a new post show up in my feed despite being subscribed.

I'll check on the RSS. It's not very well generated and I've had issues with some clients not liking it before.

I hope it was clear that no criticism was intended toward you. I take some (well, all) responsibility for lashing my content consumption to an early 2000s technology and all the corresponding drawbacks.

I mean, the script that generates the RSS feed deserves all the criticism it gets. Looking into it again the main thing I remember is that I didn't put GUIDs on each post which is "recommended" but not "required" by the spec. That turned out to be easy to fix so I just did it.

Hopefully this makes a difference for NetNewsWire. Thanks so much, and nice talking with you!

I just got all your entries back in my reader (rss2email) so I assumed you did some work on it. :D

For what it's worth, I found this post via my RSS reader.
