Hey! This is a fantastic request and an excellent use case. I will see about attending to it this fall. I will update you in this thread when it's done!

Happy to hear you like it! Were you thinking of a standalone application that runs entirely outside of Hypercard? How so, are you wanting to use it as a serious application for storing notes?

https://herman.bearblog.dev/ (has <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="/feed/?type=rss"> in <head> but not pulled down)

This should have been fixed in the release that's out today! :>

I reached out to the author of wolfmd.me because, when I looked into it, it was his handcoded entry that was messing up in this particular instance! I think it should be fixed?

This should have been fixed in the release that's out today! :>

This has now been added! More details in the devlog https://cblgh.itch.io/rad-reader/devlog/689209/bug-fixes-galore-and-osx-builds

I'm happy to share that there's now OSX (and M1/M2) support! You can read more in the latest devlog :> https://cblgh.itch.io/rad-reader/devlog/689209/bug-fixes-galore-and-osx-builds

oh that's strange, the feed looks alright when downloaded and viewed in my editor. in a while i'll give it a look and return to this thread with my findings!

Heya :) Caught this in the approval queue *just* now, sorry for that wait. Yes you can import & export feeds using opml, it's covered in the manual. For resetting the app you simply delete the files mentioned in the manual in section Files.

Saw this earlier but only gotten around to responding now: tThanks for the requests, taking them with me and mulling them about for the future :)

Hi! Since it's been  oft requested, I've looked into getting it working on OSX! I've had  preliminary success with that and I'm aiming for a Mac release early next year :)

Thanks for the report and subsequent poke! It WAS  actually a bug in Rad Reader, and now fixed thanks to your help ^_^ See the screenshot below.

Apologies it took some time to get back to you, there's been a lot on the work-front recently. Gearing up to make a new release of bug fixes around the new year for Rad Reader :)

Hi, I will look into adding support for this with the next release! You will have to download the binaries from the release page for now, sorry for the inconvenience! This is my first real foray into itch.io 🙇‍♂️

Ah sorry, I introduced a bug when I refactored before release. Someone else reported this last week and I fixed it then, so it will be out in the next update! :)

no worries, it's what i tested on as well!

huh! i'll look into that, i run it on windows as well and never got it flagged. are you on windows 11? 

good one! this was running into the same atom oversight as the sive.rs issue elsewhere in the thread, it's fixed and will be out next update! :)

thanks for this one, it revealed a, now fixed, oversight in the atom parsing routine - sivers now works! (will be released in next update). though, for some odd reason, i sometimes have to try his feed twice before it goes in -- not sure if that's due to his domain being a bit slow or what :)

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! :)

Yes sorry! Rendering of the app is attempted with the system's webviewer, which in the case of Linux the program tries to use webkit (as noted). I'll try to do some testing on one of these distros where it is not bundled coming up, but I'm not sure I can promise a good fix  for this as it's central to the construction. 

The drawback is needing that dependency installed, but the benefit is that it's only installed once: binaries never need to include it, and if other programs attempt to use the system webviewer they will also rely on the same instance.

Perhaps I should list the dependency requirement somewhere so that it is more explicit.. What do you all think?

Entries within a feed should be reverse-chrono! Do you have a feed for me to try that seems to not adhere to this?

In case this is what is happening (don't think so, tho): when first adding a feed url, it will appear at the top as a way to give the user feedback that "ah, yes the feed was added!" but it will be resorted next time a fetch happens.

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 :)

Appreciate it, J! Helps having things in one place when I go plowing bugs 😂

HELLO ALL RAD READERS!

We *just* released and it seems people are having a blast exploring websites and feeds! Let's use this post to gather any bugs you have found hidden under rocks, feeds that might not be behaving / downloaded as you might expect. I intend to fix the things that have been uncovered so far and scare away the little bugs that have yet to be found as well.

Thank you so much for buying Rad Reader and for expressing such overwhelming enthusiasm, it is really a lovely feeling after working in the dark for quite a while!

Thank you for your detailed review, glad you had a look at it ^_^

woaa this was the first game in the jam that felt like a traditional game. and with music! congrats on such a well-executed entry :3

(i have no clue what to do with my shard ^^)

wow, what an amazing and unique experience. flashes of q hayashida went through my mind as i got to know new friends on the S.S. Nostalgia

shakes head vertically

wow, very mystlike. good job on putting together such a complete experience, i had no idea you were so good at creating art 0.0

extremely bequa, eel/eel points. i got something of a knights of sidonia vibe from it :~ loved the left- & bottom-most screen :3

wow this was unexpected for some reason. i liked the story, and really liked the bit rebooting both eyes bit. nicely done :)

i really liked this, it felt like being in an junji ito novel; i was uncertain as to everything

There is no integrated way. But since Hypercard is completely read/write, you would simply choose the button tool, select the link on the zettel you want to remove it from, and delete it. 

Backlinks are represented as text in a field, and they are a bit more cumbersome to remove. To remove a backlink you would need to select the field tool, unlock the text of the backlink you want to remove, and erase its characters.
