Feedland is as much about building and managing RSS subscriptions. For me a simple thing as knowing the last date something was added to a feed is useful. I actual prefer Dave’s earlier RSS aggregator, River5, because it is a simple reverse chronological presentation of the latest feed updates. It works for me because I only use RSS aggregators to triage and find items to read, I do my reading in Readwise Reader.</p>\n","url":"https://micro.blog/frankm/88169228","date_published":"2026-04-13T15:33:45+00:00","author":{"name":"Frank McPherson","url":"https://frankm.org","avatar":"https://cdn.micro.blog/photos/96/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2F734955df329e83c2aa3ffdfec595697d%3Fs%3D96%26d%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fmicro.blog%252Fimages%252Fblank_avatar.png","_microblog":{"username":"frankm"}},"_microblog":{"date_relative":"2026-04-13 15:33","date_timestamp":1776094425,"is_favorite":false,"is_bookmark":false,"is_deletable":false,"edit_url":null,"is_conversation":true,"is_linkpost":false,"is_mention":true}}]}
