If you're working on an RSS reader, you should allow users to subscribe to OPML files. It should be a standard feature in RSS reader apps. If you have questions or comments, this is the place.#
Does anyone believe that with journalism as it is, we will be able to manage the climate crisis without huge lost of human life.#
I wanted to read the docs for the MetaWeblog API, but found that the link was broken. I was able to find the page in the new XML-RPC website, but I'm going to find some time to patch the original URL and the other docs that are locked up in the same folder. #
I figure if my Tesla can sense a human standing on the curb and slow down as my car goes by, Twitter can detect a troll's tweet, and warn you about it or even not show it to you at all (subject to a preference of course).#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
