¶I did some maintenance on Daystream user RSS feeds tonight. Fixed a few minor issues that broke feed validation from time to time (depending on the items in the feed at any given time.)

¶Digging into RSS is always a source of frustration for me. It’s beautiful and, yes, simple. It’s amazing to me that more people don’t use it to consume content from the web. I get why publishers moved away from it - eyeballs on sites are more valuable than quickly scannable content in a reader.

¶They won, we lost.

¶“Like working on a jammed desk drawer, the ground crew could push or pull harder on devices to try to unstick them. Or imagine gently shaking that drawer to loosen the clutter lodged in it. The crew could also initiate a low-level vibration — a “shimmy” — by firing its rockets in different sequences.”

¶So the ground crew can built in the “push harder” and “shimmy and shake” options, but what if it needs a good, swift kick to get things moving?
