Matt has thoughts on RSS:
My sense is that RSS is having a mini resurgence. People are getting wary of the social media platforms and their rapacious appetite for data. We’re getting fatigued from notifications; our inboxes are overflowing. And people are saying that maybe, just maybe, RSS can help. So I’m seeing RSS being discussed more in 2020 than I have done for years. There are signs of life in the ecosystem.

But aren’t blogs dead? · Um, nope. For every discipline-with-depth that I care about (software/Internet, politics, energy economics, physics), if you want to find out what’s happening and you want to find out from first-person practitioners, you end up reading a blog.
Dense information from real experts, delivered fast. Why would you want any other kind?

This is still a great service from @Ryan Barrett but unfortunately it's no longer possible to sign up thanks to Twitter developer account changes.\n\n\nWhen I was working on i.haza.website I was hoping to make that part of the platform, so I've had a go at my own instead. What I ended up with was a Twitter home timeline to h-feed converter that I could drop in as a replacement. I needed a hub that can sign up as a Twitter app, and then produce feeds for each authorized user, so I set that up using my reader at unicyclic.com. You can sign in there with a regular account or via IndieAuth, and if you authorize your Twitter account it will create a feed for you.\n\n\nThe other way it works is via Microsub on your own website. That's how I'm using it now, so authorizing my Twitter account from my reader on my own site subscribes me to my Twitter timeline. This works because my site was configured to use unicyclic.com as a Microsub server when it was created on i.haza.website. (You can use it as a server from your own site too!) That's getting pretty jargony so here's some pictures of how it works:\n\n\n\n\nEither from your own website or via an account on unicyclic.com, there are some new options under Manage Feeds.

It gives users a way to react and engage with the content they see in their feeds. Microsub also helps to simplify the act of fetching feeds from anywhere. I’m open to helping, I have comfort with C++ and have kdesrc setup.

There were also lots of recent Micropub spec improvements which I'd like to work on integrating with Together and PostrChild.

You can create a page by sending h=page instead of the usual h=entry for blog posts. To query a list of pages, use q=source&post-type=page.\nAdded q=contact to help clients do username auto-complete. This requires the filter parameter. Clients should also maintain their own username cache, built from the timeline or following lists, so they can show results quickly even before asking the server.\nUpdated q=source on the media endpoint to support paging through uploaded photos with limit and offset parameters.\nMicropub continues to improve through IndieWeb community discussions like this. If you\u2019d like to learn more about Micropub, I\u2019ve published the Micropub draft chapter from my upcoming book here."

Liked Micropub 2.2.0 for WordPress Released by

Liked IndieAuth 3.5.0 for WordPress Released by David Shanske

Let me know.As with my end-of-month roundups, I've made an attempt to sort these sources into categories, but I subscribe to people, not topics. It's highly likely that people use their blogs to write in a way that defies categorization, and those are the kinds of sources I prefer.As always: I subscribe using NewsBlur, and read using the cross-platform Reeder app. I also read email newsletters in NewsBlur, and I subscribe to many - but that can be the subject of another post.The Business of TechA Smart Bear by Jason Cohen - thoughts on startups and marketingAndrew Chen - partner at a16zAnil Dash - CEO of Glitch and old-school bloggerA VC - Fred Wilson, co-founder of Union Square Ventures, writes dailyThe Barefoot VC - Jalak Jobanputra, founder of Future\\Perfect VenturesBoth Sides of the Table - Mark Suster, Managing Partner at Upfront VenturesCoding VC - Leo Polovets, coder turned VCContinuations - Albert Wenger, partner at Union Square VenturesCrunchbase News - reporting on funding deals multiple times a day; most of them aren't of interest, but sometimes there will be a really useful insight hidden in the newsDan Gillmor - co-founder of the News Co/LabDaring Fireball - John Gruber's prolific, roughly Apple-centric blogDigidave - Dave Cohn, journalism tech innovator, currently running Advance Digital's Alpha GroupDries Buytaert - open source pioneer and founder of Drupal; co-founder at AcquiaBenedict Evans - former analyst at a16z; I rarely agree with his societal conclusions, but he's always well thought out and insightfulFeld Thoughts - Brad Feld is co-founder of Foundry Group and TechStarsDavid Cohen - Managing Partner at TechstarsHunter Walk - Partner at HomebrewKapor Center - one of the most important organizations for making tech more inclusive and impactfulMarco Arment - solo operator of the excellent Overcast; formerly the lead developer at Tumblr and the creator of InstapaperMarshall Kirkpatrick - former tech journalist (who wrote about my first startup at TechCrunch), now Vice President, Influencer Relations, Analyst Relations, and Competitive Intelligence at SprinklrMatt Mullenweg - a founder of WordPress, CEO at AutomatticLizard Wrangling - Mitchell Baker is Chair of the Mozilla FoundationChai Musings - Neeraj Mathur is my former colleague at ForUsAll, and veteran of many of Silicon Valley's iconic institutionsObvious Startup Advice - Eric Marcoullier is a startup veteran, and this no-nonsense advice blog should be on every founder's listPascal Finette - Pascal is a former mentor at Matter; he works at Singularity University, where he's the Chair for Entrepreneurship & Open InnovationRands in Repose - Michael Lopp writes about tech leadership and was blogging in the early daysSam Altman - former head of YC, now the CEO of OpenAI; I often disagree, but understanding Sam's kind of investor mindset is really importantSemil Shah - founder of Haystack VenturesSignal vs Noise - the canonical corporate blog; this is absolutely how it should be done.
