Hey – Installed Fraidycat (FC) and tested with DaringFireball (DF) feed. I see it shows the DF title and links to whatever 3rd party link DF is reporting on.

Title: The Unicorns Fell Into a Ditch

Link: bloomberg article

In this example the title is pretty much meaningless so I need DF's take on the topic before I make a decision to go off and visit Bloomberg. My existing RSS feed provides DF's blog content (text).

So I just wanted to understand whether I'm missing something here, or in fact FC is doing exactly what you designed it to do; title and link to 3rd party page only. Pretty much like how Hacker News (HN) operates?

Prehaps it's just the way I personally navigate. I never click on HN titles to go to 3rd party links. I always hit the comments first. The top comments usually give me a good overview before I decide to vist the 3rd party page.

Probably FC isn't intended for me, but I just wanted to sure I'm not missing something, because I'm genuinely excited to use. Regardless, many thanks for making FC.

P.S. I love the retro look of you personal site and FC's home page.

That's cool - thanks Pixxel! So Fraidycat literally just grabs the title and link from each post in the feed - so it has to do with how DF formats its feed. It appears that the JSON feed works correctly tho: https://daringfireball.net/feeds/json

Also, there is a redesign underway that will give richer post view: https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat/issues/30

Ah yes you're right, the JSON does link to DF directly.

Awesome, many thanks :)

Also BTW, I joined Fish yesterday. Today I went to login and I couldn't. My password/email was definitely correct. So I tried resetting. When adding a new password the error message kept telling me that my new passwords didn't match.

I used a special character (&) in my password. I removed the ampersand and was able to reset password, and log back in.

Sorry if this isn't the correct channel for bugs (feel free to redirect me).

Cheers.

Hey there, sorry about the trouble. I've pushed a fix. Special characters should now be working in the reset flow now. If you come across any other bugs feel free to email [e-mail]. Thanks!
