I'm interested in the subject but I've never heard about someone actually using Skip. Can someone share his experience, like how long it takes to get an Android app from a working iOS project. What kind of work is needed here?
I agree that to succeed RSS must be properly managed right in the browser.
The problem is that it was not properly implemented inside Firefox, so I personaly didn't want to use that system.
What I want is a simple counter that show how many new posts there are of the RSS, and that's it. I only click for new content.
I've created an app to quickly launch timers on my iPhone.
I frequently use timers during my day: for tea, naps and for my morning routine, so constantly changing the duration on the default app became a pain.
I created Enchant to be able to launch timers using iOS widgets or Siri, and it's really fast and fun to use :)
In France a small startup named Cohome has tested the concept several years ago. It unfortunately didn't last long but the idea is great. I've had the chance to use it and it was very nice.
The issue is that freelancers can't pay much on these kind of services as they often have limited means. The other issue I believe is that there are more people willing to go to someone's place than people willing to share their place.
In case you missed it, there is a global climate emergency on planet Earth. Governments and agencies are letting it happen. So you can argue that they are doing their jobs and solving the problem as it's their job, but it's also possible that they're not doing it. And do you think Elon Musk will throw away millions in investments because of birds?
What we need to revive RSS is have a true integration into browsers. Your bookmarks would display the numbers of unread posts and there is probably more great stuff to do.
And more complexity in laws and many more things increases inequalities in our society. The more stuff (i.e. laws) the more you need people (lawyers) to understand them, the more intelligent people you also need (i.e. cryptos). All this creating a larger gap between social classes.
