After some thinking, I need to move all my RSS to Inoreader or some other web based thing because I need something I can access on mobile and surprise, a standalone windows program doesn't do that.

I also have a new idea for regular-non-blog posting to make it easier for me, but I need to test some more stuff. The general idea is to make a Daily entry in Obsidian, and just add to the document at the top, pushing older stuff in the day down, then repushing the update to the RSS. I don't know if this will trigger the New post stuff again, but its my groundwork for this.

This plan is dead. It pushes it as an entirely new post which... not what I was hoping for. Shame. I was hoping it'd just update the post and repush the notification.

Obsidian is good for a lot of things, but I can't seem to access the raw XML file. It uses an njk to like, automate the feed, so I can't just access the XML and add shit to it Bummer.

Maybe I'll just construct my "Posts" throughout the day then push them at the end of it, before I go to bed. Sort of like a Thought Roundup post.

yeah, for all that you can have just a local rss client running on one device, i think having one online somewhere that you can keep synched across multiple devices is basically necessary, at least for how most people Do Computers nowadays. some require you to pay, but it's usually very cheap, and definitely worth it imo. i like feedbin, but inoreader looks nice if you want that sort of layout.

speaking of layouts, most of those online clients can be piped in to a local one, which can be nice if want things to look a certain way on one device. for all that i like feedbin, it doesn't have an android app, and their andriod browser implementation is a little janky. i've put up with it for a few years, but since i want to use RSS a lot more post-cohost, i'm going to try to find a nicer client i can access it through on my phone.
