Sick! Thanks for the help! Glad you got to use it one way or another

I’m not interested in money and you can quote me on that. I just care what my shit looks like

Good news

1. I can see your account and know it was definitely an email issue.
2. More monitoring has been added. Hopefully we catch what’s happening now
3. Several more people have successfully signed up, so it may be unique to this service/email. As a last resort, you could sign up again with a different email and I’m nearly certain it would work.

If you want to try and resend that email, I’m sure it will not work, but I may be able to figure out why

Thank you!

Sorry this happened, and super appreciate it. I imagine this happened to a bunch of other people. I’m adding better error monitoring around it now to try and figure out why. It’s happening in a very narrow area, so I should be able to detect it soon, but I unfortunately don’t know how to replicate it. If you don’t mind another ping later, I might ask if you can try pressing that resend button again soon.

Same concept, different implementation. FreshRSS is a PHP app, in my opinion… a little ugly, still super functional of course. I wanted to try to create something with a more modern UX, and try to appeal to not just the tech folks. FreshRSS still supports things I don’t yet, like WebSub, but give me some time to catch up. I have the massive benefit of just starting much later when many awesome libraries and AI exist.

I actually started this API in Go, and it was nearly complete before I started over entirely in Node. And I did that so that it could run in serverless environments. You can of course still run this in Docker Compose, but it’s actually focused on Cloudflare deployments, where you can run this entirely for free.

Demo account is a good idea. ill work on that. Here’s a couple screenshots

OIDC, maybe? I haven’t thought about that, but super open to input. I haven’t published the containers yet because I want to get to a more secure/optimized spot there first. I’m not actually sure if a read only container is possible? There’s SQLite DB writes at a minimum, though that could be externalized. I wouldn’t mind getting to that point.

Appreciate you letting me know! I just signed up a new dummy account and it seems to have worked. But no one else has gotten an email in the last 2 hours from what I can see. But at the moment its hard to tell if there is an issue or just, no one has signed up in the last two hours. It looks like a need to double check my monitoring setup to see if I can catch this.

Give it another shot, it worked for me just now (same deployment). If you can, have your network tab open and let me know if you see any failures. I’ll try to make sure I can see that easier.

Wait until you try the Win95 theme

Ya. I’m working on that too. And trying to keep in the spirit of not being biased or heavy on algorithms.

My first step - A chrome/firefox extension. This is currently in review on the web store. This exposes RSS feeds on sites you visit to make it easier to subscribe to the places you already visit. This is especially great when you find a great blog on Reddit or Hacker News. https://github.com/TechSquidTV/Tuvix-Tricorder-Extension

😆 . It’s a real problem though. So is prioritization. Algorithms aren’t bad, dark patterns are. The main issue with any algorithm, even if fully open, it, by definition, has to be biased in some way. I’m going to save this problem for much further down the road, but for discovery, I took the first step on that.

Tricorder! https://github.com/TechSquidTV/Tuvix-Tricorder-Extension

I broke out the package that does the feed discovery in tuvix and publish it separately. Now you can use it as a chrome plugin to add a subscribe page to any website. It is currently pending review on the Chrome web store. I haven’t yet submitted to Firefox or others.

While super fair and accurate, I take this as an opportunity to follow much smaller blogs. When I find a good post on Hacker News or stumble upon someone through my research, I now actively make a point to subscribe to their RSS.

TBH my original motive was to find good sources of content to submit to Hacker News… but all the same.

AGPL v3. Take that as you may. I’m *open *to changing it. I just wanted to give the project a chance to thrive without someone just hosting it as a paid app and calling it a day. That makes it so that if anyone does want to create a commercial product from this, they would need to offer up the source. My monetization plans only extend to possibly offering an additional plan on the hosted version to help cover hosting costs (which right now are $10 a month and I am covering that, it may become $30 a month if this gets popular).

I’m sad that it took me a second to get it.

Of course

Aim bots? FPS gamers? Sorry I’m trying to converse with adults

I’m a better developer than you, who happens to use AI because it’s nearly 2026

Suspiciously quiet after being proven wrong

I’ve been coding longer than you and I’m a better developer than you guaranteed.
