Fugly link works, fwiw:

That does work for me, too, in Reeder.app. Which makes me realize having it set for excerpts only is a little lacking. I will just put that URL under the link, if that’s the fix.

Wild guess. Would it be ♬ appearing on /notes/dark-mode?

Gosh, I hope not. A glyph would be a sad thing to trip up a feed with. But I’ll check.

Glyph wasn’t the problem, but I took it out anyway.

…which leads me to wonder if it’s a .htaccess rewrite issue.

Probably, although at first I don’t see any issue with the contents of the .htaccess as posted.

That fuggly link works fine in NNW and Vienna here. Haven’t checked on the iPhone.

As Firefox does not know about feeds anymore, unless you specifically tell it, I should download that file, I think.

I get the RSS XML file downloaded as index.php in Firefox.

That’s what I get, too, versus the .rss file downloaded using the feed_link tag’s clean URL.

The difference in this case is the crusty URL actually works in the Reeder.app.

Here is a more complete set of .htaccess contents, if anyone sees anything popping out. I’m sure I could refine it a bit, but I’ve not had the time to look into it.

There’s also a large section at the end for robot blocking, but I don’t think that has any effect here, and it’s long, in any case, so I’ll not pollute the space here.

Re: RSS not working

As News App seems to hi-jack xml RSS files and then do nothing with them i have reached out to Apple Support to see what they have to say.

i have an older version of NNW and it has a preference although it seems to get ignored after each quit. but while active it will open the rss link.

i decide to vist https://daringfireball.net/feeds/ and on safari clicking of the RSS or the Json file just opens the xml files…. in other words not any solution, on my old laptop there is no option for NNW.

Next I decided to install NNW on iOS and lo an behold visting the rss on wion.com works just fine!

And finally now that i have finished this testing i’ll probably never click a RSS link again. and so it goes.

aha. An older version, with the typical NNW quirks to boot. I have the latest (NNW 6.1.something) and there does not seem to be a way to do that (e.g eventually override a system default). Vienna does offer a drop-down in the preferences window (and I see it recognizes that NNW exists and is RSS reader).

finally now that i have finished this testing i’ll probably never click a RSS link again. and so it goes.

Lol ! You win the internet(s) for today!

–^–

BTW (to Destry) – Speaking of Wion.com. I found it much more readable / easier on the eyes on the old worn-out iPhoneSE that on both the iMac or MBA (both Retina displays and latest OS). Dunno exactly what made it less confortable, maybe the font came over as a little hard, dunno.

I had since put the crufty feed URL under the link, and that one does work, so no surprise there. It’s the clean URL for the feed that is problematic, for some reason. But I’m not bothered about not having a clean feed URL, per se. That one hardly matters, I think.

Thanks for the report. My apple gear, both laptop and phone, are ancient, so I don’t have the same means to see it. Not sure what to say except that I do like using a serif, and I chose this one only because it most approximated Livery (better) in appearance, what I would actually use if it was free. But I do remain open to finding a new serif, whatever style, if it pleases me. (I’ll get back to that hunt eventually.) The current one has the unfortunate lacking of an italic, so I drop in a different typeface for i, em, etc, but so it goes.

I have been trying to convince myself to get rid of fonts entirely, losing that page weight and file complexity, and just let system defaults take over, but gawd that shit is uncomfortable to look at.

The character of that font is certainly most appropriate for you or your site, or that woodworking stuff you’re playing with. I wouldn’t change that. Maybe just a small tweak in the background-color? Maybe I’ll play a little with it trough the WebInspector.

And yes, the default browser fonts, any OS, are nothing but a headache, especially the serif choice (Times/Times New Roman) :-(.

Re: RSS not working

If this were me, I’d back up the current .htaccess, bash in the stock Textpattern .htaccess and then see if the RSS works in pretty mode. If it does, start adding stuff back in from the backed up one, incrementally test it, and see where it snaps.

Re: RSS not working

I kind of tried that with the current file, taking out all the things except what Txp needed. But a newer stock file is a good double-check.

On hold until the battery arrives, though. :)
