Thoughts on calm reading, RSS, and building Spoonfed.

RSS feed

A calmer way to manage noisy feeds

See how often each feed publishes, then use global and per-feed auto-discard settings to keep high-volume subscriptions from taking over.

Make your reading profile feel like yours

Public profiles now support a display name, a description, automatic publishing controls, and a way to reset your profile URL.

Save the sentences that matter

Select a passage while you read, save it as a quote, and add a note when you want to remember why it stood out.

Bookmarks and quotes are now one place

The separate Bookmarks and Quotes pages are gone. Everything worth keeping now lives in the Library, one chronological view, no switching between tabs.

Public profiles and RSS sharing

You can now share what you're reading. Opt in to a public profile, choose what to show, and let others subscribe to your reading via RSS.

A daily reading limit, for when enough is enough

You can now set a cap on how many articles you read per day. Hit the limit and Spoonfed stops serving new ones until tomorrow.

See how active your feeds are

Feed settings now show a 30-day publishing activity graph, so you can see at a glance which feeds are noisy and set auto-discard accordingly.

Pick up exactly where you left off

Spoonfed now saves your scroll position per article. Close the tab mid-read and it'll be waiting in the same spot when you come back.

Themes, fonts, and making the reader yours

Five color themes, four font families, five sizes, adjustable line height and letter spacing, all with a live preview so you can see changes before saving.

Keyboard shortcuts for readers who prefer not to touch the mouse

Vim-style keyboard shortcuts are now available in the reader, archive, and library. Opt in from Settings if you want them.

Reading full articles, even when the feed only gives you a summary

Full-text fetch uses the original article page to extract the complete content when a feed only publishes a teaser. No more click-throughs for truncated posts.

2026-02-22

A content filter that works silently in the background

Add keywords to your content filter and Spoonfed will silently skip any article whose title or content matches. They never appear in your reading queue.

2026-02-22

The archive: everything you've read, always at hand

Every article you advance past is saved to your archive with a timestamp. Scroll back through your reading history and re-read anything, any time.

Add feeds by URL, and bring your subscriptions with you

Paste any website URL and Spoonfed will find the RSS feed automatically. Bring your existing subscriptions in via OPML, or export them at any time.
