This post was great, so I added the RSS feed to my reader and I almost instantly removed it. I always knew those "7 Best Writing Apps for iPhone (2024)" posts were only there for SEO, but seeing a post from 2021 with that title is frustrating. This post appears to be the only non-SEO-related post in the feed.

Not trying to take anything away from the author: the app and this post look great. But consider doing more writing like this and breaking them out into a dedicated, non-SEO feed. I'd subscribe to that in a heartbeat.

Thanks!

I've indeed forgotten about the RSS feed. That post was created in 2021, but I keep stuff up to date even for SEO content, so the update time is 2024. That said, those posts are purely for keywords - they have no value other than to get occasional clicks from Google, and to spread the word about Paper.

I'll think about separating the feeds.

I totally understand that you have to play the game, even if I think the game makes search results worse. Appreciate your consideration and the post itself. (I'm an iOS dev that's made the jump from Obj-C to Swift and now from UIKit to SwiftUI.)

There is no money in doing what you're suggesting. You're basically asking for a donation.

Yes, I'm asking for a bit of work to be done so that I can read their future posts like this. I spend money on well-crafted indie software but typically only after following the author for a while. I'd like to remain engaged and was offering a suggestion on how the author could make that happen.

The current RSS feed is not useful for humans. I'm not into SEO, so maybe RSS feeds are taken into account. You can publish multiple feeds, though.
