It's time to head back to RSS?

I was trying and fell short of something witty to say.

But you're right. I use feedly and have chrome extensions that's give me full articles in a readable fashion.

I would LOVE to visit some of my favorite sites and read articles as the site designers meant for them to be read. But all of the js and ad fuckery makes reading articles online an absolute goddamn chore lately.

So here we are.

RSS revival? Bring it on. I'll play drums.

Inoreader.com has a feature that loads the whole page in-app (and possibly even 'readabilitized' it). I'm sure other feed readers do it too though.

TinyTinyRSS lets you use xpath to specify which element on the linked page is the “real” content. It was a life-saver when dealing with snippet-only feeds.

BTW, you'll need the feediron plugin for the functionality I was talking about.
