   Of all the things Google has sunset that one probably had the biggest impact on me.

   I all but stopped using RSS.

   I got more invovled in Twitter for my blog feeds.

   It's not all good or bad, but it was a big impact to me personally.

   @zachleat Is there any kind of RSS-for-dummies guide out there?

   (Like, I'm talking basic-bitch levels. As in, barely knowing what "code" means.)

    Agree! With vibe coding, you can do nice things with RSS/atom/json feeds! Start of a new internet!
