world news Should Feed Readers Count Unread Items? By www.rssboard.org Published On :: Wed, 02 Apr 2014 11:12:53 -0400 Brent Simmons, the developer of the NetNewsWire RSS reader, is questioning his decision to put an unread count next to each feed, reasoning that it encourages people to be too obsessive about reading every item:Instead of a dozen bookmarks, people had a hundred feeds. Or two hundred. Or two thousand.And there was a tyranny behind keeping track of unread items and showing an unread count. People reacted in different ways, but many people felt like they always had to go through everything.Including me. To this day.I did not know this was going to happen. That was not the idea: it was a side effect of reasonable (at the time) choices.I like seeing these counts on feeds where I need to read all items that are posted, but that's only a small percentage of the 100-120 feeds I follow. It would be nice to turn that off for others I read more casually.Feedly presents unread counts on each feed and folder of feeds. There's a Mark As Read button to clear a count, but when you click it, the confirmation dialog acts like it's an extremely consequential decision: "Are you sure you want to mark this entire source as read? This operation cannot be undone."I've posed a question on the RSS-Public mailing list: Do you think feed readers should count unread items? Full Article announcements
world news Where to Find the RSS Specification By www.rssboard.org Published On :: Sun, 18 Jun 2023 14:11:52 -0400 The RSS Advisory Board has published the RSS 2.0 Specification for 20 years, releasing 10 revisions over that time. The current version of the specification can always be found at this URL:https://www.rssboard.org/rss-specificationThe revisions have mostly been minor, aside from one clarification that namespaces can be used to extend RSS by adding elements and attributes, not just elements.The best way to learn how to implement RSS as a software developer is to read the RSS Best Practices Profile created by the board. It includes all the rules of the specification along with our recommendations for how to handle issues that have arisen among implementers.For example, the enclosure section describes how to deal with the biggest ambiguity in RSS: Can an item contain more than one enclosure?The RSS specification is available under a Creative Commons Attribution/Share Alike license, so it can be republished on websites and software related to RSS and syndication under those terms.

world news RSS Enclosure Support in WordPress By www.rssboard.org Published On :: Thu, 22 Jun 2023 21:44:06 -0400 One of the biggest challenges for a software developer implementing the RSS 2.0 specification is the issue of enclosures in a feed item. The specification is infamously unclear on whether an item allows one enclosure or multiple enclosures.The RSS Advisory Board worked on the RSS Best Practices Profile for nearly two years, investigating a lot of RSS readers and feed producers to see how they handled issues like this. We ultimately made the following recommendation for enclosure:Support for the enclosure element in RSS software varies significantly because of disagreement over whether the specification permits more than one enclosure per item. Although the author intended to permit no more than one enclosure in each item, this limit is not explicit in the specification.Blogware, Movable Type and WordPress enable publishers to include multiple enclosures in each item of their RSS documents. This works successfully in some aggregators, including BottomFeeder, FeederReader, NewsGator and Safari.Other software does not support multiple enclosures, including Bloglines, FeedDemon, Google Reader and Microsoft Internet Explorer 7. The first enclosure is downloaded automatically, an aspect of enclosure support relied on in podcasting, and the additional enclosures are either ignored or must be requested manually.For best support in the widest number of aggregators, an item SHOULD NOT contain more than one enclosure.Because the profile was completed in 2007, it would be useful to see how current software handles RSS enclosures to evaluate whether any recommendations should be reconsidered. To start this effort the current WordPress was tested, since that massively successful platform publishes 60 million RSS feeds. WordPress enables audio files to be added to a blog post using the Audio icon in the block editor:When three audio files were added to a blog post in WordPress, the item in the RSS feed contained three enclosure elements:<enclosure url="http://example.com/Fanfare60.wav" length="2646044" type="audio/wav" /><enclosure url="http://example.com/CantinaBand60.wav" length="2646044" type="audio/wav" /><enclosure url="http://example.com/ImperialMarch60.wav" length="2646044" type="audio/wav" />Follow this blog for more updates on enclosure usage in feeds and feed readers.As you probably guessed, we have an RSS feed.

world news Every Mastodon User Has an RSS Feed By www.rssboard.org Published On :: Sat, 24 Jun 2023 08:34:48 -0400 The distributed social network Mastodon has grown to 12.8 million user accounts, supporting itself through user donations and a lot of effort by the volunteers running servers. There's no CEO changing the network at whim, no ads and no algorithms that manipulate what you see to increase engagement. Just a scroll of posts by the people you follow pulled from all over the world.Every Mastodon account has an RSS feed that can be found by going to the user's Mastodon page and adding ".rss" to the URL of that page. For example, the RSS feed for Bonaventure Software is at this address:https://mastodon.online/@bonaventuresoft.rssThe feeds are valid RSS and use the Media-RSS and Webfeeds namespaces.The Media-RSS content element contains the photo, audio or video included in the Mastodon post, if one is present:<media:content url="https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/109/326/769/636/254/303/original/552ebb9fd3f30171.png" type="image/png" fileSize="49052" medium="image"> <media:rating scheme="urn:simple">nonadult</media:rating> <media:description type="plain">Eli Lilly & Co stock performance graph over the last month, showing lower valuations than the one caused by the bogus announcement of free insulin.</media:description></media:content>The Webfeeds icon element holds the URL of the user's avatar:<webfeeds:icon>https://files.mastodon.online/accounts/avatars/109/298/336/948/075/673/original/e76dfce4df4bef76.gif</webfeeds:icon>One potential improvement to the feed would be to add a link element from the Atom namespace to identify the URL of the RSS feed, as in this example:<atom:link href="https://mastodon.online/@bonaventuresoft.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />That might not happen anytime soon.

world news How to Read an RSS Feed with PHP Using SimplePie By www.rssboard.org Published On :: Mon, 26 Jun 2023 15:08:40 -0400 If you need to load an RSS feed with the PHP programming language, the open source library SimplePie greatly simplifies the process of pulling in items from a feed to present on a website, store in a database or do something else coooool with the data. There's a full installation guide for SimplePie but you can skip it with just three steps:Download SimplePie 1.5.Copy the file autoloader.php and the folder library to a folder that's accessible from your PHP code.Make note of this folder; you'll be using require_once() to load autoloader.php from that location.SimplePie has been designed to work the same regardless a feed's format. It supports RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0, Atom and the earlier versions of RSS. Additionally it can read feed elements from nine namespaces.Here's PHP code that loads feed items from the news site Techdirt and displays them in HTML:// load the SimplePie libraryrequire_once('/var/www/libraries/simplepie-1.5/autoloader.php');// load the feed$feed = new SimplePie();$feed->set_feed_url('https://www.techdirt.com/feed/');$feed->init();$feed->handle_content_type();// create the output$html_output = '';foreach ($feed->get_items() as $item) {ÃÂ ÃÂ $html_output .= '<p><a href="' . $item->get_link() .

', ' . $item->get_date();}// display the outputECHO <<<END$html_outputEND;The API documentation for SimplePie_Item lists the functions that can extract data from each feed item. The versatility of the library is demonstrated by get_authors(), which can retrieve an item's authorship information whether it was in the RSS author element, Dublin Core creator, iTunes author, or Atom author.SimplePie supports caching so that a feed isn't downloaded every time code is executed. The addition of these lines turns on caching, specifies the location of a cache folder and sets the time to use a cached version to four hours (14,400 seconds):$feed->set_cache_location('/var/www/cache/');$feed->set_cache_duration(14400);$feed->enable_cache();SimplePie was created by RSS Advisory Board member Ryan Parman, Geoffrey Sneddon and Ryan McCue.

world news Atom Feed Format Was Born 20 Years Ago By www.rssboard.org Published On :: Thu, 29 Jun 2023 16:39:54 -0400 This month marks the 20th anniversary of the effort that became the Atom feed format. It all began on June 16, 2003, with a blog post from Apache Software Foundation contributor Sam Ruby asking for feedback about what constitutes a well-formed blog entry.The development of RSS 2.0 had been an unplanned hopscotch from a small group at Netscape to a smaller one at UserLand Software, but Atom was a barn raising. Hundreds of software developers, web publishers and technologists gathered for a discussion in the abstract that led to a concrete effort to build a well-specified syndication format and associated publishing API that could become Internet standards. Work was done on a project wiki that grew to over 1,500 pages. Everything was up for a vote, including a plebiscite on choosing a name that ballooned into a four-month-long bike shed discussion in which Pie, Echo, Wingnut, Feedcast, Phaistos and several dozen alternatives finally, mercifully, miraculously lost out to Atom.The road map of the Atom wiki lists the people, companies and projects that jumped at the chance to create a new format for feeds. XML specification co-author Tim Bray wrote:The time to write it all down and standardize it is not when you're first struggling to invent the technology. We now have aggregators and publishing systems and search engines and you-name-it, and I think the community collectively understands pretty well what you need, what you don't need, and what a good syntax looks like.So, now's the time.As someone whose only contribution to the project was voting on names, I think I was too quick to rule out Phaistos, a suggestion inspired by a clay disc produced by movable type before 1600 B.C. Comments on the wiki page proposing that monicker offer a sample of the name wars:MikeBlumenthal: Does one of the great mysteries of antiquity, a document which, after almost 100 years of trying, is still a mystery not only as to its meaning but even as to its purpose, and which stands as a paragon of impenetrability, really fit as a name for an interoperability format?Jayseae: Actually, the current state of RSS is pretty much a mystery -- why should this project be any different? I like the association with publishing -- though I'm not sure the pronunciation really flows. Perhaps it could be shortened somehow?AsbjornUlsberg: Sorry, but I don't like it. We could just as gladly give the project any other Greek-sounding name, like Papadopolous.Arising from all the chaos and debate, the Atom format became a beautifully specified IETF standard in 2005 edited by Mark Nottingham and Robert Sayre that's used today in millions of feeds. It is the most popular syndication format that's never argued about.Everybody got that out of their system on the wiki. Full Article announcements
world news RSS Enclosure Support in Micro.Blog By www.rssboard.org Published On :: Sun, 02 Jul 2023 23:35:33 -0400 An effort is underway to examine how feed publishers and feed consumers are handling the lack of clarity in the RSS 2.0 specification about whether an item can contain more than one enclosure. The RSS Best Practices Profile recommends that a feed item should contain no more than one enclosure "for best support in the widest number of aggregators," advice worth testing against current usage.The artisanal small-batch blogging service Micro.blog is a platform for sharing short posts like Twitter, but in a way designed to be less viral, more low key and less prone to provocation, attention seeking and clout chasing. There are no follower counts, public likes or trending topics. Founder Manton Reese explained why in his book Indie Microblogging:Big social networks like Instagram are designed to amplify accounts that gain traction, whether they are fake or not.Micro.blog limits search and avoids public likes and reposts so that the snowball starts small and stays small. Instead of going viral and becoming a major problem, fake accounts can be spotted early and shut down if necessary.Since being funded by a Kickstarter campaign in 2017 that hit its goal in one day, Micro.blog has attracted a dedicated following. One of the options available to premium subscribers is to host a podcast. An audio button appears below the post editing window to choose a media file.Choosing a podcast file to add to a postMicro.blog sites have a primary RSS feed and a separate podcast feed. The latter contains enclosure elements. Because the Micro.blog editing window does not allow more than one podcast to be added to a post, the RSS item for a post contains only one enclosure:<item> <title>RSS Enclosure Test</title> <link>https://rcade.micro.blog/2023/07/02/rss-enclosure-test.html</link> <pubDate>Sun, 02 Jul 2023 21:39:52 -0400</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://rcade.micro.blog/2023/07/02/rss-enclosure-test.html</guid> <description><p>I’m trying out Micro.blog’s support for podcasting to see how it handles enclosures in RSS feeds.

The roadmap stated, "We anticipate possible 2.0.2 or 2.0.3 versions, etc. only for the purpose of clarifying the specification, not for adding new features to the format."The RSS Advisory Board was formed 20 years ago to publish the specification and "make minor changes to the spec per the roadmap," as stated in the launch announcement on July 18, 2003.If you're wondering whether the board has followed the roadmap, this timeline of RSS elements answers that question.

The image and textInput elements were originally placed under the top-level element of the feed, but that is counted as their introduction even though they later moved inside channel. The rss element wasn't in the first version of RSS created by Netscape. Instead the top-level element was rdf:RDF until it was changed by Netscape to rss four months later. Full Article announcements
