Hacker News Reader

Speaking of RSS, and this feed specifically, it is the only one (of hundreds that I subscribe to) that periodically spams a set of old posts into my "fresh" feed. Some backend change that causes unique identifiers or something to change?

TT-RSS is my client.

Hi there! Sorry about the issue of old posts reappearing on your feed reader! This is an issue I observed too. The issues were caused due to redesign of my website which led the feed entries to be regenerated with new <guid> values. Perhaps I should generate these <guid> values from the post slugs or some such attribute of each post that does not change whenever I redesign my website.

By the way, I have no intention of disturbing the current design anymore, so this issue should not occur again.

It's a common enough problem that I put a dedupe (based on titles) feature in my own RSS reader Temboz (www.temboz.com).
