I love reading news articles and staying curious about whether my favorite writers have published something new, but I am super lazy. I do not like visiting their websites each time. Therefore, I prefer the traditional approach of using RSS. Actually, RSS feeds allow me to track new content on a website, instead of going to the site or subscribing to their emails. For me, it is super relaxing to get new updates without clutter.

Initially, I searched for mobile RSS reader apps, but I could not find the best one for me. Those apps either had limited website support or required payment for full features. Hence, I forked Static RSS reader generator made by paraphobia. I am happy with it. Currently, I am following ~30 sites, some of them update multiple times a day while other only few times a year.
Here is my curated RSS feeds

Likewise, I wanted to keep the list of sites that I have read on the interest. Bookmarking every page was not reasonable idea. I was inspired from James’ read list . James reading list goes back to year 2022. I really loved James idea and inspired by it. I tried to fork and use it, but I could not replicate it. It might be due to my limited knowledge on programming. Hence, I created my own style. My approach is simple: first, I created a browser bookmarklet to grab website information using JavaScript. This bookmarklet logs the website’s name and my feedback into a list in the github repository. The html based website grabs the information from this list to display my reading list.
I am not good in in JavaScript and other language, I know bits and pieces of html, so I took help from LLM. This almost complete and updated list of articles I have read on the internet is not for judgment but just for memory.
I might add some summary plots or other analysis chart, after I gather some data.
