IndieWeb Examples

Users — who uses Feedly.com?

IndieWeb Friendly

Does Feedly support any IndieWeb building blocks? Could it support webactions? (It has a huge number of integrations for syndicating to other silos.)

...

Advocacy: we should test whether any of the following are supported (e.g. like Woodwind does!), and if not, ask them to!

- parsing h-entry posts for all their properties

Web Based Feed Readers That Don't Bust Unions

Fails To Handle Atom XHTML titles

See bug report:

https://plus.google.com/110760594609453531817/posts/2J3wWDsJFnU
- 2015-08-26 appears to be fixed? https://kartikprabhu.com/notes/re-feedly-title-fix

Consider putting this for your Atom title element (inside the entry element) to help encourage users to encourage getting this bug fixed (and stay fixed! live regression tests are a good thing.)

<title type="xhtml"> <div class="if-your-feed-reader-displays-this-then-it-is-violating-the-Atom-spec-RFC-4287-section-4.2.14" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> YOUR POST NAME GOES HERE </div></title>

No Offline Support

Feedly native app on Android (and iOS??) does not load anything when offline. So one cannot read posts even tough they had been previously downloaded.

Home page is js dr

(noticed 2017-026)

http://feedly.com/ is blank if javascript is disabled or fails to load (js;dr).

Upon loading it with JS, there's no reason the static logged-out content there couldn't be served directly from the server.

Collapsed whitespace around HTML

gRegor Morrill: I had a friend report that the spaces around links in my feed were being collapsed, and the inline style for a striked-out word did not come through. Testing with Tantek Çelik's feed also shows the collapsed whitespace around links.
