Added a ton of Mastodon feeds that have been requested -- whew! (you can use the search field on the homepage to check if the one you requested is now available)
Added a fancy little animated navigation to the mobile version of the website, mainly to prepare us for adding more navigation items for all the cool content we've got coming out soon
Redesigned the layout of the blog listing on the website
Renamed "News" section to "Blog" and update all URL references to new /blog location
Fixed parsing issue in Google Careers feeds due to their updated site changes
Added more Mastodon feeds than we can count -- if you've been waiting for a particular feed to be supported, you can check using the search form on the homepage
Fixed the super slow performance of all Mastodon feeds, which are much faster to respond now -- we've re-enabled all of them, so feeds from all supported instances should work now 🎉
Exposed lower-level gateway errors to users directly in the feed for transparency, these feed items will be prefixed with [Open RSS Feed Error]
Fixed small issue where duplicate feed errors were showing in some feeds, which was the result of us releasing this error-in-feed functionality for the first time -- sorry about that!
Added ability to communicate important information directly in feeds as well, these will be prefixed with [Open RSS] so you know it's us
Fixed changelog heading links when in dark mode
Optimized performance of Mastodon feeds
Put clients in time out that are making too many of the same requests to a single feed in a short amount of time -- an error will show in this case until the number of requests is minimized
Added an error if our server has to give up when the request to a feed is taking too long
Added explicit and detailed error when a Twitter feed can't be generated because the user's profile has become private or otherwise inaccessible
Improved Tumblr feeds to exclude the pesky ads
Fixed issue with Mozilla Careers feed
Added 503 status when feed is unavailable
Added disclaimer for Mastodon replies of publicly inaccessible posts
Temporarily disabled unresponsive federated Mastodon feeds (mastodon.social, mastodon.world, and macaw.social) due to unresponsive APIs - our guess is that this is due to these instances just experiencing high traffic volumes, but we'll keep an eye on it
Fixed Pocket Cast authorization issue that was preventing feed generation
Added a ton more of new Mastodon feeds--we would list them all here but that would take forever. If you've requested that an instance be supported, it's likely there now. You can verify by using the search form on the homepage.
Added some redirects to correct a few incorrect feed URL attempts
Fixed some Rumble feeds that werent redirecting properly
Added a better alternative VSCode feed that contains full content vs their RSS feeds that just have a pretty useless link that says "Read the full article"
Added huffpost.com and huffingtonpost.co.uk feeds that contain the full content of each article and with ads and useless embeds removed
Fixed quite a few issues with Twitter feeds not working due to certain threaded tweets in timeline (if you've been running into errors getting feeds for certain Twitter users recently, please give it another try)
Fixed create date of certain retweets being incorrect
Improved handling of Mastodon errors on servers that are slow to fulfill requests (this is likely due to servers being overwhelmed with a lot of traffic recently)
