Dave's WordPress home in the Fediverse :-)

I’ve hesitated at calling FeedLand a feed reader. I’m concerned people would stop listening right there. They know what a feed reader is. But FeedLand is not like most feed readers. Your subscription list is public, as it is in Twitter. This is my subscription list. When you’re looking at someone else’s list, there’s a checkbox next to each feed. If you’re subscribed to the feed the checkbox is checked. If you see one that looks interesting that you’re not following, click to subscribe. Nothing else, no dialogs, confirmations — one click. It has other features that are amazing that no other feed reader has, like a very powerful connection between categories and OPML subscription lists. And whole new way to use OPML lists — in FeedLand you can subscribe to OPML lists. Think about that for a minute. It’s also quite stable, and I took some time to make it a bit faster in certain important areas (coming soon). And it goes the other way too. When you’re looking at a Feed Info page, you can see who else is subscribed to it. Click their name and you can see what they’re following. As far as I know no other feed reader does any of this. The design mode was the social web. But unlike the others our web is based on broadly supported web standards, not someday — now. #
