crypto_blogs VS elfeed

If you’re looking for cryptography, I maintain my favorite active blogs here: https://github.com/mimoo/crypto_blogs

I was even interviewed about that list :P

I still use RSS daily too, and I keep a list of my cryptography feeds here if this interests anyone: https://github.com/mimoo/crypto_blogs

The tools I use for living inside Emacs are: - EXWM as window manager https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm - mew for e-mail https://www.mew.org/en/ - org-mode for calendar and todo-list https://orgmode.org/ - terminology as shell/terminal (before it was xterm, but wanted transparency) https://www.enlightenment.org/about-terminology.md - elfeed as rss-reader https://github.com/skeeto/elfeed - hackernews for Hackernews-reader https://github.com/clarete/hackernews.el - browser eww and Firefox - pdf-tools for viewing pdfs and in mew they are converted to text view

Here's how I improved responsiveness in my config: https://github.com/skeeto/elfeed/issues/293

(Bonus) I want to dedicate some "perspective" or "tab" for programs such as Org Agenda, Elfeed, etc.

elfeed: An Emacs web feeds client.

If I come across an arbitrary element I want to ignore/skip, I don't bother looking at the tags. Instead I count element depth until I'm back at the original depth. I don't need to be strict about it since the goal is only to extract useful information from the input. In practice this always works fine. (I've been working in this space for almost 9 years, and I have yet to observe a case where this doesn't approach wouldn't work.)

No, I use Livemarks to get an indication a site provides a feed (i. e. the feed icon) and discover the feed URL without having to search for it in the page source. Then I add that URL to an external feed reader (Elfeed for years now).

I can't believe no-one has mentioned elfeed + elfeed-dashboard makes an awesome RSS reader. I used it to find this post through the reddit RSS post. But I can scan all the RSS things and read through them far more rapidly than visiting each idiosyncratic web page.

elfeed in emacs plus "Rss All The Things" https://sr.ht/~ghost08/ratt/ for pages that don't supply RSS (like https://apnews.com/hub/world-news)
