apologies for the name being misleading in your cases! this is indeed the intended behaviour of this program, and i tried to make that as clear as possible in itch overview page :)
in regards to specific feed-related issues, it seems to not load the two latest entries on my own feed @ https://heckscaper.com/rss.xml. a couple other readers i have on hand seem to be parsing it without issue. i don't think it's an issue with formatting on my end, but it would be great to know what end the issue is on.
thanks for this, it was on my end! thanks to you the time parsing routine is now a bit more resilient in terms of handling different representations! :)
