    With this in context, anyone here that wants to beta-test my feed-reader (opinionated) that gives you tools to better track feed reads? - you can assign priorities to your feed subscriptions or their categories - you can limit the number of items you can see per feed so that they can't overtake your "dashboard". https://lenns.io/ (p.s. Thanks for any feedback).

  2. Follow your favorite blogs, news sites and comics by email. No apps to install, no extra sites to visit, your email is never shared, you are in control.

  3. Real-time feed API - RSS and Atom over PubSubHubbub and XMPP. Superfeedr pushes RSS feeds in real-time for both publishers and subscribers, with open protocols and APIs.
    Youtube does still have feeds. The bandwidth can be reduced if readers use the If-None-Match and If-Modified-Since headers when requesting feeds (so if the feed hasn't been updated, the server can return an empty response). I also imagine that as feed readers become more mainstream, you'd start to see more intermediaries for fetching feeds like Superfeedr[1]. [1] https://superfeedr.com/.

  4. Mastodon is a decentralized, open source social network. This is just one part of the network, run by the main developers of the project It is not focused on any particular niche interest - everyone is welcome!

    I love Miniflux [1], but you need to self-host it - probably not something for the typical Twitch user. [1]: https://miniflux.app/.

    Https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0472.html I've built Movim (https://movim.eu) on top of that and many users have already access to thousands of articles daily, pushed in real-time in their timelines. For example here is the ArsTechnica page on Movim https://mov.im/?node/news.movim.eu/ArsTechnica.
