About

This is the blog of Syndicator, a feed aggregator that pulls the newest posts from over a hundred sites into one stream.

It covers the plumbing that makes that possible. Feed formats like RSS, Atom and JSON Feed. OPML, autodiscovery, WebSub and the HTTP details that keep polling cheap. How images, podcasts and licensing terms travel inside feeds. And the news that changes how content moves between sites, from platforms shutting their feeds to new rules for AI crawlers.

Some posts are about Syndicator itself: how it's built, how it handles feeds that break, and how it runs on a static host without a server.

New posts go up two or three times a week. The RSS feed is the easiest way to follow along, and the Syndicator front page has the full stream from every site it reads.
