If you’ve been reading twoprops.net, you know that I’m a fan of RSS for following web sites. I know, though, that people work in very different ways, and that RSS isn’t for everybody. To make matters worse, though I’m loving using Feeder on my GrapheneOS phone, I don’t have personal experience with standalone RSS readers for iOS, Linux, macOS, or Windows. I’m sure they exist, and from time to time (in between having cancer surgery, getting our children launched, moving to the island, selling the mainland house…) I look into them, but I haven’t really had time to do a proper job.

Today, Adam Engst of TidBITS fame published a comparison of three RSS to email services. I’m also checking out FeedMail which is free for the first 400 content updates and is otherwise a spare and clean implementation. These service essentially generate an email newsletter from an RSS feed. So pick a service (Adam recommends Feedrabbit for those just getting started, but read the article for nuance). Create an account on one of these service, enter https://twoprops.net as a feed, and you’ll get an email whenever a new column posts here.
