Making RSS More Fun from matduggan.com

Article: 15 min

The article discusses the author's dissatisfaction with traditional RSS readers, which they find overwhelming and less engaging due to their chronological nature and pressure to consume all available content. The author proposes an alternative user experience inspired by TikTok, where users can passively consume random small website content, upvote or downvote it, and receive more of similar content based on community preferences. They have developed a Firefox extension implementing this concept using FastAPI for the backend, SQLAlchemy for database management, and a system to crawl RSS feeds from the Kagi small web Github repository.
