For today's #FeedReaderFriday, I made my RSS feed prettier. Before, the browser served a bunch of messy XML, but now you're greeted by a friendly preview and instructions. 🥳
Based on pretty-feed.xsl by Matt Webb. You should add Matt's blog to your feed reader! 👀
@sod Is there any reason I shouldn’t make my recents/archive page just the feed itself with this xsl? Microformat scraping wouldn’t use these pages, I don’t think
@gaelicWizard Well, nothing is really stopping you from doing that in theory. In practice, one usually wants to limit the number of items in an RSS feed. You don't want it to contain every single post you ever made, as such a file can be pretty big. Some feed readers will have trouble reading such a file. That makes it inappropriate to use the feed as a substitute for your archive page.
