My 2023 RSS Feed (Mostly)
12/31/2023 8:29 pm | : 28 mins. | Share to:
So I exported the list of sites I currently subscribe to in my RSS reader. It's nearly 200, though I removed a few from this list for various reasons (internal tech being the main one.)
This list is going to be of questionable quality. I'm not diving deep on each link, in most cases, the descriptive text after the link is what the blog itself provided to my RSS reader when it got imported. Many of these will be idle, or may even be broken links (though I've tried to remove those.) I don't remove blogs which go idle because they may one day begin publishing content again.
Additionally, the categorizations are very rough. There are countless examples of how I could reorganize things. The reality is I don't use the categories in my reader. I just skim through my full feed regardless of category. I am maintaining them here as they do provide a little additional context for links.
With those caveats said, I'm sharing here for posterity and as a resource for people looking for RSS feeds to subscribe to.
