Having had a Flipboard account for like so many years I was intrigued by the surf thing - all seems a little too confusing if you don’t want to start again - and just use your existing account. Let’s see how it all shakes out.

What’s not to love about Idris? Ok well not always, but this surprisingly worked.
Well - at least …
Spending more time looking at Feedland as I seek to work towards a better way of managing my canonical OPML for all feeds …
I know that I am definitely not the only reader of people like Gruber and Ben … but according to Feedland .. nobody else is subscribed to them.I wonder what gives❓
Still the ‘🍎 at 50’ articles subsume my feeds .. not even Artemis can compete.
I notice that it’s the women who he’s firing first.
in netnewswire - @brentsimmons allows us to add different feeds to one or more folders - and when you export and import - those folders travel in the import.
in feedland - @dave does essentially the same thing using tags
not sure which way @manton has gone
BUT it does seem that neither method seems to recognise the other
i wonder if that will change?
for what it is worth reeder uses folders
strikes me that if it doesn’t change the single canonical URL for an OPML is still not going to work - even if we do get the readers to read an URL - rather than importing and exporting all the time.
And there we are … fixed. Turns out the real issue was the ‘content extraction fallback’. Who knew❓Not me - that’s for darn sure.
You know what I mean by ‘the camera in the hat’ thing❓Right❓
When I say ‘go pro’ - I am not talking about ‘the camera in the hat’ thing.
For 2 bucks a month how could I not ‘go pro’ on Chris Hannah’s Mini Roll … though I might be pushing things a little too far as I explore getting
- MiniRoll
- Feedland
- NetNewsWire
- Reeder
- Inkwell and Micro.Blog
all to work together with a single canonical OPML file.
Hang on to your hats.
