Announcing RSScal.

RSScal

RSS, is that still a thing? Evidently it is. It’s more popular than ever according to Built With.

RSS feeds are what the web should be. They’re an antidote to the algorithm-driven engagement-bait of social media and platform-dominated content distribution.

So Lot 49 Labs has released RSScal, an opinionated hosted service for tracking news feeds (RSS, Atom, or DIY).

It’s a revisitation of an Electron-based news monitoring app I wrote about eight years ago called RSSputin.

RSScal won’t be right for everyone. If you want pictures, you’ll be disappointed. But maybe it’s right for you.
