@codinghorror@infosec.exchange @bovaz@misskey.social @mjg59@nondeterministic.computer @jwz@mastodon.social it was great as a junior dev user experience. I didn’t know how to programme an API connection, but I could feed the RSS of multiple blogs into Reader, sort and categorise them and (unless this is a false memory) repost those categories as RSS feeds into a CMS on different sections (which desktop rss apps couldn’t do). My only technical skill was CSS, and RSS with Reader in the middle was like magic.

@nicol@social.coop @bovaz@misskey.social @mjg59@nondeterministic.computer @jwz@mastodon.social it's still there, though. Nobody waved a magic wand and made RSS disappear from shared reality.. yet.
