I'd really like a pure RSS browser. Just nice articles in a standard format, no ads, no clickbait.

RSS readers are cool but the discovery is still tedious - looking for feeds isn't much fun.

I did just discover feedle though, which looks like halfway toward what I want! https://feedle.world/

I want feedle in a nice native app.

Feedle looks useful, I've already found one blog I wasn't aware of. Thanks for recommending it!

I wonder if Feedle will provide an API (even a paid API)? Could be nice to plug this into a metasearch engine as an additional data source. And I guess that might be necessary to add Feedle search to an RSS reader or native app as well.

This made me think of this popular RSS reader that Google had that they shutdown. I bet you could just vibe the same RSS reader back into existence.

If you use the regression-suite I already setup (https://github.com/embedding-shapes/one-agent-one-browser/bl...) for my tiny toy browser experiment, I bet you could build it by just adding more and more "HTML > .png" examples and prompt something like "Make regression suite pass by fixing the implementation, refactor as needed", and end up with something usable.

I guess Google Reader had done it's job, take over the RSS industry then kill it:

RSS could still be less token heavy alternative for agents as the alternative to parsing full html websites.
