Apologies for promoting my project again (did this in at least 2 other threads related to RSS), but I'm weirdly proud of it: I'm curating a list of human-written blogs on my blog reader/discovery/search engine called Minifeed: https://minifeed.net/blogs/
There's an OPML export available as well: https://minifeed.net/blogs/opml.xml
There's also https://ooh.directory/ and https://blogscroll.com/
and https://boredreading.com/
Another good repo is Kagi's small web repository of Github feeds https://github.com/kagisearch/smallweb
Nice. I think a search engine that only crawls RSS feeds is a great idea. My own selfishness wants such a project to not get too popular so the slop media doesn't go back to publishing feeds.
At least my project has manual curation and strict eligibility criteria, so I don't crawl all RSS feeds, but instead focus on personal blogs.
When you “open original to view full content” and then use browser back to get to your page, the back history is removed and you can’t click back again to get to your main page. Makes it hard to navigate. Love the site.
Not sure I understand. The "open original.." is a plain link with target="_blank", and Minifeed is a pure classic HTML web app with zero JS shenanigans. There is nothing which can manipulate the history.
Since the link opens in a new tab by default (because of target="_blank"), that new tab naturally does not have a "back" history. Is this what you mean?
On ios it does not do that. When I click on the original source link it replaces minifeeds page in the current tab. I can the ln click back and it does take me back to minifeed but then I cant click back again to get back “one more” to the minifeed index.
I wish target="_blank" had never been invented. I'll decide for myself if I want a new tab, thank you very much. I've never found an extension that filters out this garbage properly. There's one appropriately called "Death To _blank", but so much still slips through.
I was looking for more feeds to subscribe to. Thanks for sharing!
I keep a blogroll[0] mostly on computing/programming

Like planting a tree, the best time to start collecting feeds is 10 years ago. And the second best time is now. For those without time travel machines, here's my categorized list of ~1700 feeds in HTML and opml.

This is great! Thank you. I'm trying to figure out where I can stash the link so I don't forget about it.
Funnily enough, I'm working on a link-blog feature on Minifeed. Kind of like del.icio.us or pinboard; at first, I implemented an ability to add blog posts to favorites and to lists, but there are so many blogs/sites without RSS, that I decided to allow users to save arbitrary links. Example: https://minifeed.net/l/rakhim
I really like this project, such a beautiful design carefully executed on!
Thank you! I went through multiple iterations of designing the visuals, wanted to keep it very clean and "texty", but not overly brutalist at the same time.
This is honestly awesome! And I love the design as well. Is it open source?
Almost! :) I'm cleaning up the repo and about to release it under AGPL-3.0.
