  • OPML is an odd format for a flat list of feeds

    From 2 comments
    • Then why not use RSS, or Atom, or CSV, or HTML, for that matter? That OPML "outline" has no tree structure at all, except for the single top level container item: ``` <outline…

    • Why do RSS feeds need to be imported/exported as anything other than RSS feeds? According to this thread, four out of five RSS apps on Linux Mint failed to import the OPML file,…

    • Is there an easy way to make a feed of feeds? So one RSS feed for all these?

  • Lower the karma threshold

    From 2 comments
    • Ugh, just need 20 more karma. Don't know anything about farming karma for hackernews though. Oh well, maybe I'll have to fork and allow users to specify their min karma to record…
      JamesonNetworks on HN
    • I will regenerate the list with just 2+ karma. Will let users to figure out what they like or not. 100 was just a random number I used without any idea what is good or bad.

    • freshrss is nice
      skydhash on HN
    • I run freshrss and was able to import it there. Do you get any errors while importing it? I believe also this XML maybe not valid. Will regenerate it a few minutes.
