⌨️ Joseph Anyone else here have the displeasure of working with Xamarin Forms for work? Probably the most dreadful framework I have dealt with so far in my short career.

🐵 Max To people who blog: what do you blog about?
⌨️ Joseph My blog is pretty scatter-brained right now. Mostly just whatever thoughts I have on my mind. I am currently doing the 100 Days to Offload challenge. I am super behind though. 100daystooffload.com

⌨️ Joseph Same. One of my favorites moments of my day is sitting out on my porch in the morning with a cup of coffee :)

🍁 John J. Me too. It's slowed a bit, with kids, but the pattern's the same. Trying to decide whether this is really such a bad thing.
⌨️ Joseph Like a lot of things, I think it depends. I usually end up ditching a project when it starts to get difficult. I think this is a pretty bad habit of mine. I will never learn anything if I keep bailing on something when it gets slightly too hard. Sometimes I drop if if I get bored, I don't think that is such a bad thing though.

⌨️ Joseph That sounds cool. So did you write an RSS reader for yourself to host then? I have a server that I use for small projects right now, so this sounds interesting.

🔻 Trinity If you know Python, DIY. Spent a week making a YouTube browser using YouTube's RSS feed function and it was intensely rewarding. Used this library: pypi.org/project/f.... Even for a kinda novice Python coder like me (I don't do OOPs) it wasn't too hard to figure out.
⌨️ Joseph Oooohhh sounds like a nice project to start and then abandon two weeks later :) I'll have to check it out.

☕ Francesco Yeah, trying to solve this exact problem with mailbrew.com. We are releasing an iOS app later this year.
⌨️ Joseph Oh so you're the guy behind that? Seems like a super cool project. Well done!

⌨️ Joseph Thanks for the replies guys. I ended up going with Innoreader for now.

⌨️ Joseph Any good recommendations for an RSS reader? I'm trying to curb my mindless scrolling of things like Reddit and HN. I'm on iOS for mobile if that matters.

💻 Kenneth Jensen Never really found the use for RSS... just came to plug lobste.rs for anyone in the programming world.

🏛️ Brandon Pittman I miss Fever. Technically it'll still run, but you'll have to set up a pre-7.0 PHP server and then deal with getting Shaun Inman to switch your domain over. And he's a pain in the ass to deal with.

🔻 Trinity I'm just really surprised Americans actually care about us going back to school, for fear we may die. Y'all didn't do anything for twenty years of mass shootings but now y'all care when the threat affects you too. American students have already understood and accepted the risk of death from going to school. We would rather go back and live our lives and, if we are fated to die, die.
⌨️ Joseph I think people that phrase it as protecting the kids aren't being completely honest. Kids are not likely to die from COVID. As of June 17, only 13 kids aged 5-14 have died from COVID in the US (out of 103K deaths). What I am worried about are the people that interact with the students. Parents, teachers, grandparents, kids with pre-existing conditions, etc. Opening the schools would greatly increase the number of cases and put more vulnerable people at risk.

🍃 Matt Harwood I'm a little addicted to Age of Empires 2. I don't normally play games but I can look up and 6 hours have gone by. A bit scary, if I'm honest!
⌨️ Joseph Oh man. I LOVED that game. I also played a lot of Age of Mythology.

💣 Zoid Not at all, I've been using *NIX full time since 2006. I've pretty much stuck with mainline distros like Ubuntu, CentOS, and Fedora. (I also use FreeBSD and CentOS on my servers).
⌨️ Joseph Oh wow, you probably know more than I do. From what I hear, Manjaro is pretty solid.
