But the things that make me me won’t change. I’m a Seattle guy who blogs and writes an open source RSS reader.

Tell other people about cool blogs and feeds you’ve found. ​ Or: skip helping us, and, instead, help people who need help more than we do. Those people should not be hard to find.

That’s why my short stuff appears here (and on my microblog) and then gets copied to Twitter. It belongs on the open web first. Twitter is just another form of syndication. It’s not the home of my writing.

One of the key would be to keep it simple. It’s just one component in an ecosystem of tools. Do search, and do it well, and that’s it.

It’s a collection of small functions and properties without a linear story. ​ Part of me does not want to encourage people to use RxSwift for the reasons I’ve outlined. But part of me very much wants to encourage people to use RxSwift — because change comes, in part, from the community pushing the state of the art. ​ But if you do use it, and some time in the future there’s a nice, declarative way of handling events and dealing with state, then I’ll have you to thank for helping make that come true.

The articles are often very well done and beautifully illustrated — and it would be to the benefit of Apple, and app developers, if these articles were findable and readable by people sitting in front of a computer.

But here’s the thing: tons of people use RSS readers. There’s no shame in it; you’re not the last person; there’s not going to be a last person. ​ Deliberately — or through inaction — reserving technology for a sophisticated group is Not a Good Thing.
