When i am trying to insert full text rss feed into bazqux, it doesn’t work. Says - “SubToMe Docs” has no unread items. Link what i am getting in ftr.bazqux.com is
Wow! What an unexpected set of changes!
Would you consider making full text extraction and image proxy a persistent per-feed setting? Make it two options for each feed to be able to always use your image proxy on a given feed and to always extract full text?
Additionally, would you consider collapsing article’s tags to 1-3 lines with ability to expand them if necessary(although i’ve never needed it)? I see some feeds kinda stuff keywords in them and it looks messy and needlessly takes up vertical screen space.
@Alexander_Manusovich you made a mistake in how to use subtome. On ftr’s page you click on “Subscribe to this feed” text, then you click on “View full list of services” and then you find Bazqux in the list and click there to actually subscribe.
Interesting idea about making image proxy a per feed setting. From my limited experience it works well, however some some sites may block it. Maybe I will implement it.
Regarding per feed full-text. I’ve had a plan to do it for a long time. Without changing feed URL, making full-text feed core feature. But there are always some other features to do and I’m not sure whether blog authors will like it so I’ve decided to self host Five Filters service as at least something before bright future come true So yes, I have a plan for it.
Collapsing overlong tag lists is a good idea. But can’t say when I get to it.
Cleared cache, logged out and back in. Tried both login pages separately. Still no images at all. Also tried every combination of the image settings in the Appearance menu.
That’s strange. Images should load with image proxy off. Feed icons are always loaded from BazQux Reader servers so image proxy settings do not affect them.
Hey, you rule! This is much more than I was expecting.
Just a question: how long do proxied resources live on BazQux’s server? Also, when are they initially added to cache? I have a large number of feeds and I don’t want to kill your app.
Resources are cached for at least an hour or more if they have Expires/Cache-Control HTTP headers set. Cache is currently limited to 20GB (which is arbitrary number that I could raise at any moment) and will delete old data once filled. So, I hope, reader will survive )
Thanks a lot for maintaining the service. There were no news/updates on it for quite some time and I started to worry a bit whether time is coming to look for another RSS web reader. Relieved that I was wrong.
Also it’s probably worth to put some effort into popularizing bazqux, I don’t think that lots of people know about it.
