Murtuzaali Surti ☛ An RSS Feed Reader And Blogroll - Built Using Astro
RSS a.k.a Really Simple Syndication is a great technology to subscribe to website content. You can get the latest updates published on a website by parsing the RSS feed. It uses XML to present the data and meta information about the content.
A huge number of software developers have their own blog where they publish posts about programming and software development regularly. Initially, I was bookmarking blogs which I admire and used to visit them once in a while. But that wasn't practical enough. I was missing on beneficial updates and news of what was happening in the software world.
So, I decided to keep track of all of those blogs using a blogroll — a collection of links to other sites or blogs — which updates itself on a daily basis. With the help of an rss parser, astro and a little bit of logic, I present to you rssed.netlify.app and the journey of how I built it.

Adding insult to injury Thunderbird has been dropping features while adding bugs. Gee, where do I sign up to pay for that? One of the reasons I tried out Evolution is the fact I wanted something that didn’t incessantly beg for money.
