I don't want an AI assistant to "help me keep track of information from across the web" I just want everything I follow to have an RSS feed 
@afewbugs Yepppp. This is the same as travel for me -- I don’t want self driving cars, I want really reliable trains and other transit options.
@afewbugs @paulrobertlloyd Have you guys looked into https://usetapestry.com/ ?
The idea is to have a single feed where you could include anything, using “connectors” in JS to scrape the data from any source you fancy, even if they don't have an RSS feed.
@fabienmarry I have, and took part in the Kickstarter for it, but not a fan. The design really isn’t to my taste and I enjoy using my current feed reader, NetNewsWire. Don’t cross the streams!
@paulrobertlloyd I’m somehow on the same boat… hard to mix things w very different publishing rate like a site rss feed and a mastodon account… the designer was recommending to NOT do that but only add some key account you follow, not your all timeline…
@fabienmarry Yup; very much a fine in theory, different in practice kinda thing. So much of this sorta thing takes a technical point of view but ignores how humans actually communicate and why they might choose different places to do so.
@paulrobertlloyd yeah... I could see it working but with lot of time spend in customising it for my needs…
I’m very glad they're trying things though.
@afewbugs _monkey paw finger goes down_: websites now use an LLM to generate the RSS feed from their HTML website.
@afewbugs RSS is the enemy of the “individualized” advertising that funds the (dying) web. That’s one hell of an enemy. That RSS still survives is proof of unmet consumer need.
