Neat new service called Sourcefeed from Terry Godier to publish RSS feeds:

RSS-only. No website, no inbox, no algorithm. Subscribers read it where they choose, in whatever reader they already trust.

My first feature request: let the title field be blank for short posts. 🙂

@manton I was wondering when someone would do such a thing…

May have to noodle a bit on how I might put it to use.

@patrickrhone I could've sworn this is what Dave Winer's daveverse site did, but I guess it's a full WordPress blog?

I've also ran across one other person doing this but I can't remember who? 🤣 I'm probably subscribed to their feed.

@manton Ditto. I’ve never understood why we’re still having to deal with titles after all this time.

@manton just had to make remove that validation line and run a quick db migration to allow null. Simple as 🥧

@manton @tg - really like this idea, exactly the level of simplicity and openness that the internet needs.
