On the topic of RSS feeds. I really do miss this way of consuming news.

I tried using a few RSS feeds from major news organizations (WaPo, NYT). All I get are the headlines and a link to the article. I am not sure if it has always been this way or not.

On the other hand, “rachelbythebay” blog posts can be viewed entirely in the RSS reader.

I am using “feedly” on iOS. Downside I see is that it does not properly display all of the formatting elements. Some examples:

- Bullets represented as just *.

- The “code” sections sort of sit awkwardly in the reader. No formatting applied.

- ~~In some of the code sections, it’s just awkwardly replaced by ellipses (…)~~ nvm, this is the authors writing style :)

Maybe that’s just a specific RSS reader issue?
