FreshRSS has a feature where, if an RSS feed doesn’t have full-text articles, it can fetch the page that’s linked and extract the page’s HTML content from a CSS selector.
So! I naturally put of doing this for all my feeds for a long time, just clicking thru to the source page, which is fine, that’s how the author intended for the piece to be viewed right, doesn’t even happen that often, I can totally ignore the repeated reminders of how I procrastinate doing small things that meaningfully improve my QoL1.
However! Tonight I was so bored I figured I might as well just configure all those FreshRSS CSS selectors, and power thru I did. The process led me to discover the vast majority of blogs have their main content surrounded in <article>. And here I was, using <div class="post"> like an absolute fool… This has been remedied. My procrastination of that Rust blog post I keep meaning to finish has not. Good night.
