What is RSS? 🤔

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It's a technology from the early web that lets you subscribe to websites — like subscribing to a newspaper, but free and without giving away your email.

When I publish a new blog post, it automatically appears in your RSS reader. No email inbox clutter. No social media algorithm deciding whether you see it. You choose what you read, when you read it.

It's the open web at its best. No middleman. 🔅

How it works

  1. Pick a reader app Choose one from the recommendations below — most have free tiers.
  2. Add this feed Copy the URL above, or click "Open in your RSS reader" and your app will handle the rest.
  3. That's it New posts show up automatically. Read them in full, with images, whenever you want.

Why RSS?

🔒
No tracking
No cookies, no analytics pixel, no data harvesting. Your reading is your business.
🎯
No algorithm
You see everything in chronological order. No one decides what you should read.
📬
No inbox clutter
Unlike newsletters, RSS stays in its own app. Read when you want, not when notified.
🌱
Open protocol
RSS is a standard. No one company owns it. It can't be enshittified. It's been working since 1999.
