Chris McDowall, of Bastionland and Into The Odd fame, did a livestream covering a lot of his favorite blogs, some I knew of and a few of which I didn’t. Thought it might be of value to the community.
Does anyone else have any favorite hobby blogs of theirs?
Another good thing to come out of this Reddit controversy, re-remembering the great content in the blog space and perhaps to revitalisation. Given that Google has taken away everything that was so good for the OSR - does anyone has any recommendations for an RSS reader?
I actually like the web page https://campaignwiki.org/rpg best. I wrote the code based on other “planets” – web based feed readers that just take all the feeds, sort articles by time, keep at most 4 from each blog, and take the 100 most recent ones. Everything else just falls off the bottom. It’s really important for my peace of mind have no unread count. 😅
I’m happy with Feedbro.
The big lesson I learned from the demise of Google’s feedreader was that people are using them very differently. The solutions that sprung up were so different, it was amazing that they all were happy with Google feedreader before.
If understood Chris in the video correctly, he doesn’t use a feedreader at all. Essentially, the blog roll on his own blog is his feedreader.
@copacetic @rileylum I “use” #feedly, I imported my Google Reader content to feedly, and still occasionally add to it. But I rarely check it.
Sly Flourish also updated their blog roll.
Thanks
That is a good list
