NOTE: this is about Really Simple Syndication/Rich Site Summary, not Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. ;)

i have always tuned into RSS on and off, but since i was using it to consume news, it wouldn’t work. if i recall correctly, all these news websites (eg. the indian express, the hindu) all have RSS feeds, but either they are broken, or they’re just links to their ad-filled page. or just a summary. so i thought RSS as a thing is broken.

but recently, i have gained an interest in reading blogs by people - regular people, who share what they find interesting. and reading them feels good. there’s no ulterior motive behind it. nobody is trying to sell you something, and the blog comes from the love and joy of writing. i just love it.

i have been using feedflow and it’s a good one. initially i wanted to read blogs in the “native” way, but then i thought webviews are fine, because the author designed the website in a way that he/she feels is nice, and i have no complaints.

as for pc, i tried out gnome’s newsflash, but i am not a fan of the UI and the colorscheme. i don’t like it at all.

btw, some blogs i like:
