Hacker News Reader

This is super cool. If it was RSS enabled I'd immediately add it to my feed!

Thanks! I don't actually know anything about how Ghost blogging platform interacts with RSS feeds, but I get a small amount of traffic from personal aggregation services. I guess I kind of thought RSS is enabled, but I don't use it so I honestly don't know. I'll look into it and see if there's some setting or toggle switch somewhere I need to flip.

That worked for you? I was having a devil of a time getting Feedreader to bring in that feed. I also had never touched Feedreader until last night and might have done something dumb. Inoreader did bring in the feed, but only after I "tricked it" (?) by doing a search for the feed; it wouldn't accept the rss URL. It all felt very mysterious and opaque.

I got word in the Ghost forums that there may also be an RSS feed bug, which I'll look into and see if that applies to this case.

It worked in NetNewsWire, a macOS feedreader.

RSS is a bit of a pain as most feed readers will accept malformed XML (unlike Atom feeds). Hence you end up with a lot of malformed XML.

Having said that it mostly looks valid:

Great to know, thank you for the investigation.
