I wanted a way to test my blog's RSS feed, but couldn't find a easy solution that didn't require some form of subscription, login, or signup up so I made a simple Android app.Along the way, I decided to make it a more functional by adding background refresh, notification, OPML import, offline viewing, and light/dark mode. I do plan on maintaining this project, and your feedback is very much...

I didn't know about this. I'll definitely check it out. Thanks!

Nope, it's hardly audible. The only way for my to tell if the fan is on or off is by looking at it to see if it's spinning.

The first 2 parts are out! It's currently focused on a particulate matter sensor (the pms5003) for taking pm2.5 measurements. If you have any feedback or if there are any other features/sensor integrations you'd like to see please let me know.

Some ideas I have floating in mind: a temperature/humidity sensor, CO2 sensor, VOC sensor, and MQTT integration.

+1 to this. It doesn't help that some dependency injection frameworks' (ahem, looking at you Dagger2) error messages can be convoluted and hard to understand.

Firefox removed support for RSS back in 2018. It would've been great to get first class support from the browser but I understand their motivations for deprecating support.

I'm not sure how the agency is structured - but what I can vouch for (and seen work) is continuous communication amongst coworkers in the form of tech talks and documentation. That way, knowledge is distributed within the team and a situation like this is avoided upfront.

I'm reminded of the Bus Factor concept: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_factor

That's a good idea. Thanks for the feedback!

Interesting! Handing off job responsibilities is definitely an important aspect, especially for more tenured employees.
