            <description><![CDATA[The feeds got hijacked. Where do you go to learn now?]]></description>
            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I learned to build software by following good blogs and forums. The early internet was buzzing with ideas and wisdom, and it's how I found a career.</p>
<p>Then the feed got hijacked.</p>
<p>Sites optimised for engagement. Popularity contests. The good stuff buried under viral outrage. Great writing still happens but it gets lost in feeds I don't control. Drowned out by advertising.</p>
<p>Where do you even go to learn now?</p>
<p>This is my answer. A tool that brings what you love to you, so you can skip the trash. No algorithm deciding what's "relevant". Just the sources you chose, in the order they posted, organised how you like.</p>
<p>A calmer way to read the internet. Like old times.</p>
<p>If you try it out, let me know how it goes.</p>]]></content:encoded>
