💾 Readwise Reader has a new feature of note. I’ve been looking forward to it so much, that I’m almost a bit anxious to check it out. Posting this and heading over to the web app.
📁 RSS Folders on Web – You can now organize your RSS feeds into folders and pin individual feeds to the left sidebar resulting in a more traditional feed reading experience.
@todor oh oh oh … gosh darn - and today was so wonderfully planned out … ‘was’ being the operative word.
@todor and … in some ways I am happy - because i just got my day back!
BUT still sad …
You have to manage the folders inside of Readwise. Which I get. What I want is that the folder structure I already have in NetNewswire ro be held when i export the OPML from NetNewswire and recognized when I IMPORT that OPML Into Readwise.
But there’s more - I’ll tell you what I really really want .. is that I manage the RSS in one place (in my case NNW at the moment), and then MicroBlog and Readwise are just dynamically synching …
But - sadly - no.
@JohnPhilpin I’m not familiar with OPML - does it support similar concept as folders, i.e. the grouping? If yes, there is still hope!
As to better sync and having a “hub” - I get you. For the longest time I used Feedbin, but ultimately decided to make Readwise my hub. Lack of feed folders kept me on the edge for a year, but the official sync with Obsidian is what converted me.
Btw, first impressions from the folders feature are good! Many views I had were automatically converted to folders. However, a few that had fancier queries such as “published__after” remained as views.
@JohnPhilpin Feedbin has integration with Micro.blog. Posting and, if I’m not wrong, replying. IIRC, though, one couldn’t easily navigate to the full conversation and this bugged me a lot. Unfortunately, I understand all this takes extra effort from developers to create and maintain.
OPML is a way of importing and exporting your feeds twixt spaces - if it would synch - I could forget about it.
I use Feedbin as a back end to my NetNewsWire - AND I am a Readwise user - My Feedbin has been ’curated over years - and in all honesty there is a lot in there that I don’t read - cos they don’t relate to ‘current me’ - but one day they might again … so I keep the feeds in place - but ignore.
SO - when it comes to Readwise - I don’t want to block move everything over - I am trying to use Readwise as more of a home of ‘considered thought’ - rather than a bucket.
This means - I have on and off tried to import ‘important’ feeds there - and not others - that I just vaguely track - read maybe with time and maybe even totally ignore. It works nicely - for my ‘top 20’
I had forgotten that I had Feedbin connected to MicroBlog - but that still isnt synch?
BUT - you had me at folder support into Readwise.
My NETNEWSWIRE OPML export moved the folders over and I can then use as I see fit - BUT - under Readwise - my folders were just ignored. So, looking in Feedbin - I see the folders - so maybe next job is to export out of Feedbin and see if Readwise accepts those folders.
That would help for sure.
As someone we know in this world says … “still diggin’
