The Gift Articles feed

Here's the link...

https://giftarticles.feedland.org/rss.xml

You can subscribe to it in any RSS 2.0-compatible feed reader, which is essentially all of them. ;-)

It seems to work well in FeedLand for subscribing.

Background

There's a great feed on Mastodon containing gift links to articles that are behind paywalls.

But the feed is pretty useless in a feed reader because it doesn't use the format correctly. I haven't investigated what the problem is. It's probably both a combination of how they format their post in Mastodon, and what Mastodon does with it. It's a classic edge case of some kind.

I'm working on a new scripting language to use with Claude et al, and this was a good application for it since it involved RSS reading and writing. A language should be really good at doing both sides of RSS imho.
