The Old Reader Reviews

Social recommendations and mentions

• Canberra events RSS feed?

  Blurgh. Sorry, I didn't try it out, just saw that it looked something like RSS. The other problem with RSS is people don't make sure it is still working on their sites :) Maybe there is a reader that can filter to only show the what's on entries from the main feed? You could definitely do it with a bash script or similar. I just use https://theoldreader.com in a very simple way. There might be a more powerful... - Source: Reddit / 22 days ago

• Sorta-meta: how do you keep track of OSR and RPG blogs?

  I use The Old Reader as an RSS agglomerator. That way I can subscribe to tons of different journals and subgroups of arxiv all in one place and from multiple different fields.

Each day (ideally) I march through the titles published that day and sort for future or current use. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

  I subscribe to YouTube channels through an RSS feed reader, http://theoldreader.com . Because the videos are embedded, I don't get ads, even on mobile.
