Simple and sweet!

One feedback though: In the "Examples" page, I was expecting to see the websites created using your CMS. However, I see a minimal documentation of markdown. This may be suprising for any developer.

Nice. On Firefox it is a little confusing because nothing happen unless you reload the browser. Also wrt. CORS, I think the best way in your case is probably to use a greasemonkey script. I documented several ways to bypass the CORS in here:

It is a similar project as yours.

Love the simplicity! Congrats! What would it take to turn it into a stand-alone html file that could be "double clicked" and used as an application? It almost seems to work, but I wasn't able to add new feeds.

amadeuspagel wrote at 2021-12-05 08:26:21:

I don't think that would work well, because most feeds block CORS requests (or rather, they don't explicitly allow CORS requests) and you would have to wait for the last request to finish every time.

That makes sense!

Not to be confused with

https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed

(admittedly poorly named) :)

And there was me excited to see your work on the frontpage!

Sorry :) I choose the name dfeed because d and f are right next to each other on the keyboard, so it's easy to type.

Awesome! I wonder why no one has done this before.

Added it to

With all due respect to dfeed, it (free RSS reader in the browser) has been done before. Here is my show HN thread a couple of months ago:

Very cool hardcore minimalist aesthetic! Do you use it yourself for reading your feeds?

amadeuspagel wrote at 2021-12-05 11:50:55:

Of course I use it myself.

please add a firefox addon

amadeuspagel wrote at 2021-12-05 11:04:33:

I've just submitted one, but it can take up to 24 hours to approve.

ok that is great to know... unless developers like you don't create a moat around chrome , "best works on only chrome" will continue as this forces people, with even a single tool at a time to stick to chrome.

good job but your website was failing earlier ;-)
