Scripting News: Wednesday, February 18, 2026
New account on Twitter: DWiner43240. The old one dating back to the dawn of time is disabled, so at least the new owners can't post anything there, if I understand correctly. #
- I saw a product announcement from Jake Spurlock -- a new feed reader called Today. From the description sounds well-thought-out. #
- He explains -- "Google killed Reader in 2013. I've been chasing that feeling ever since. So I built it." #
- I also know someone named John Spurlock, who I worked on some OPML and RSS stuff for Bluesky in 2023. I sent a note of congrats to him, when I really should've sent it to Jake. #
- Screen shot of the conversation I had with ChatGPT. #
- And text of the email I sent congratulating the wrong Spurlock.#
- Congrats on the new product!#
- Haven't tried it yet, I don't generally use Apple's store on my Mac, not sure why. I will do it though.#
- Your product looks nice and well-thought out. #
- And there are some ways we could work together now that I think you'll find interesting, like using FeedLand to get you instant updates based on rssCloud, assuming you haven't figured out how to support it from a client. #
- Also OPML subscriptions are nice too. Another thing I'd like to get going, and need someone to work with on to make it happen. #
- Also, I wonder if they're related? Have they met each other? Do they know of the havoc they are bringing to the formerly simple world of RSS. #
- One more thing, I wrote the foreword to a book Jake Spurlock wrote for O'Reilly about the Bootstrap Toolkit. #
