UI Update: on large(r) screens, the navigation bar is now horizontal across the top. And the clouds are back.

FeedCity now has an updated logo icon. Here is the previous and the new icon side by side (the old one left/first): It’s for sure an incremental update, but the larger RSS icon makes it a little more recognisable in small sizes. Plus, it looks a little more polished. The site and its manifest.json file now also include a maskable version without the surrounding circle. This way, operating systems can crop or mask it as they see fit when installing FeedCity as an app (PWA), making the icon look more native to the platform.

I also fixed a couple of bugs today: When multiple entries of a feed were fetched at once, those would show in the wrong order. Fixed Sometimes a feed would not immediately update, despite receiving a WebSub request. Fixed

The design of the UI has been updated throughout the site. The changes are more on the subtle side of things, but making everything look and feel more refined and consistent.

You can now “like” any post within FeedCity.

All the public feed profile pages have gotten a new look.

You can now bookmark any web page in FeedCity. Use the bookmarklet or iOS Shortcut to save an article, a podcast, or a video for later reading, listening or watching.

Some feeds weren’t updating in the last hours. This is fixed now and updates have caught up.

Fixed an issue with links in post: if they are relative URLs, they no get converted to absolute ones, so you can actually navigate to them.

A feed file can contain quite a bit of useful information. And I think this is underutilised by a lot of existing feed readers.

There’s been a problem with updating feeds the last few hours. The problem is fixed now, and the updates are currently catching up.

I’ve changed and refined icons for the “Subscriptions” and “Feeds” pages, as well as for “Lists”, “Audio” and “Video”. And the “adding a feed to a list”-UI has seen a tiny improvement, too.

FeedCity is currently not reachable. I’m looking into it! Update: Never mind. Just after I published this, everything seems to be back to normal. /Daniel

Fixed a bug with “Load more” pagination.

I made some rather subtle changes to how links look.

There’s a new “Go To” functionality available, to quickly navigate to any of your feeds or lists. The option is currently only shown on the navigation menu for larger screens, until the feature’s usability has been improved (in general, too, but in particular for those smaller screens). /Daniel

Earth has a new city: FeedCity. Where anyone can become a citizen and follow their favourite RSS feeds (and Atom and JSON feeds, too, of course). Read more about what FeedCity is on its home page and/or by reading the announcement I published on my personal site. On this very blog, I plan to write about all things RSS, Atom, JSON (and probably also a little bit about microformats and the Fediverse), announce new features or explain design decisions of existing ones.
