It's even worse than it appears.
The
demo river on Glitch now runs in HTTPS. (Yes, I support it in my products, when I can, but my websites won't, not until we get Google to kick back. No one owns the web. That's an absolute.)

Unread 1.9.3 supports titleless items in feeds. Thanks! Next, let's ask Inoreader and NewsBlur to do so as well. Here's a
feed to test with. This is an important
historic feature dating back to the origins of
RSS. Today, it's how blogging can grow into Twitter's space, without its limits (with
linking,
styles, and no length limit). It was there before Twitter even existed, btw. If you look at the archive of my blog going back to the 90s you'll
see lots of titleless items. This is one of the ways Google Reader screwed up the blogging world, by refusing to support this required feature. Let's undo that mistake and grow our world. It's really
easy.

You might try listening to someone who is sure they're right, no matter what their age. Sometimes they're right, I've found.

An
update on the work with
River5 and
Glitch. The
demo river is still working, amazingly. Before I close the thread, I'd like to do a little cleanup work so there's a good example to build on for others, and for when we pick the thread up in the future.
