blog.listnook -- we've added private RSS feeds (inbox, saved, subscriptions, etc.)

woo-hoo! We were aiming for mediocrity and we achieved it.

Yeah. That's more of an architecture limitation at the moment. We only pre-compute the first thousand items, and the database hits on stuff beyond that gets to be pretty quickly unbearable.

There's a certain amount of legacy (and inertia) with that one. No reason in principle other than us having to deal with a bunch of "who moved my cheese!" type responses to that.

Singin' doo da dee dee, dee dee dum, dee dee doo...

That's what... she said?

So, like, we should buy ourselves a pizza? We already have beer.

I've always wanted this too. I've never had the discipline to check any of my RSS feeds that I subscribed to. They just disappear into Forgotten Land.

I can't say I'm a huge FUUUU fan either, but it does amuse me how much that sublistnook annoys some people. It's just so fitting that comics about being greatly annoyed really annoy some people.

To make it work, don't follow the provided link, just do this: log in ==> click preferences ==> RSS feeds tab ===> copy URL from the rss button and paste into google reader.

Agreed- I can't get it to work either. Has anyone gotten a feed to load in Google Reader?

Depends on what browser you're using... If you're using firefox like most of listnook, just click on the RSS box of the feed. You'll see the feed and a yellow box by firefox on top telling you to click something to subscribe to it. Click it and you're done. That being said, I don't actually find RSS feeds useful since I have to visit the site anyway for the full message/article.

Opera actually makes it really easy. Just click on the RSS button, then subscribe using opera mail. It pops up a notification when you get new messages.

You'll still need to visit to comment and reply (for now). :)

My thought exactly. The notification system is much better than my polling.

We need to figure out a way to simultaneously: 1. Have pictures in our blog posts (and ideally video) 2. Not make it a special feature that only admins can do 3. Not have jackasses posting pictures of goatse.cx

It's a checkbox near the bottom of the preferences page. (Unless you mean individual feeds...)

Did you ever find a solution for this? I have the same concern.

> Can you give us some more information on the security behind it? Someone in possession of your private feed URL can retrieve that feed in your name without authenticating. But they can't use it to do anything else (that is, they can't use it to vote on your behalf, or use the key for other private URLs). The key in the private feeds is a hash that contains the URL, your password, and a server-side secret key. Changing your password will invalidate all private URLs, and because the URL is in the hash, someone that has one of your private feeds can't use the key to obtain other private feeds. The hash also contains a server-side secret key, so they would need to know more than just your password to construct private feed URLs (of course, as raldi pointed out to me, this is enough to log in as you on listnook and go to the `feeds` page to get them) > is there an https option? No

For some reason, I thought it stupid to subscribe to my unread feed in Google Reader, but your comment reminded me that I can just subscribe to the one in Opera. This paves the way for me to never need to open listnook again, same way I never check my email (the client notifies me). Thanks!

You're doing it wrong. Use a desktop client feed reader, turn on notifications, and set it to retrieve that feed every minute. :-D

Why?
