I've linked to Terry Godier a few times lately (primarily with regards to being influenced by Current, his RSS // feed reader) and am going to do so again.

Listen, friends. I love Linux, but I can’t, in good faith, deliver software with the level of information density you seem to require. But I love you anyway <3

😅 you're gonna break it! That station is broadcasting from a $5/mo box!

What I want to build are things that work the old fashioned way, on protocols that give users sovereignty and agency, but with modern thinking applied to the UI and UX. That’s it. That’s my whole shtick. Thanks!

All I want in life is a modern version of Yojimbo that re-imagines Finder as a surface to drag and drop and save and recall and organize various things. Text snippets, memes, contacts, dmgs, webpage archives, bookmarks, json files, whatever. Persistent, visual, spatial, wonderful. Too much?

API in progress as we speak. 🫡

This post hit me in my soul.

This is incredible.

I think we've had enough of shiny apps that provide "a personalized experience" in return of our attention and identity. I hope we return to a simpler mode of internet soon.

My plan with RSS: https://blog.terrygodier.com/2026/05/04/my-plan-with-rss.html

there is only one correct way to redesign GitHub and this is it

A little UI design tip for engineers: If your app has broken, unfinished features that management forced you to include for business reasons, you can just use this handy little icon to let users know where not to click

Introducing Tags for Sourcefeed: https://blog.terrygodier.com/2026/05/02/intoducing-tags-for-sourcefeed.html

Really interesting to see how sourcefeed is working in several ways. It’s a quasi social network for some, responding to each other and coordinating topics, a niche stream of links, daily journals, and software changelogs. Inspiring!

What a great use case! 🙏

Two new features for Sourcefeed: https://blog.terrygodier.com/2026/05/01/two-new-features-for-sourcefeed.html

If they launched full-time goblin mode, I’d use it openai.com/index/whe…

Love the way web pages scroll all the way to the top of the screen in Safari on iOS 26? But totally despise Liquid Glass? Quiche Browser's full screen browsing is now available in Classic theme! Maximum screen real estate for reading, all without floating glass stuff clashing with the web page.

AI bots are now blocked on Sourcefeed. Being RSS-only there’s not really much to scrape, so the surface area is small, but now they’re explicitly blocked from the feeds. If they ignore robots.txt there’s still a proxy/middleware that will blackhole them. www.sourcefeed.app/robots.tx…

Gratitude, honor, and anger: https://blog.terrygodier.com/2026/04/29/gratitude-honor-and-anger.html

Sourcefeed creates standalone RSS feeds: No website, no newsletter. Just your words, delivered to your readers’ rss reader. It’s an appealing, if eccentric idea, explained more in a blog post. https://ift.tt/3CRsqEm

For RSS eyes only: https://thisness.one/post/for-rss-eyes-only Terry Godier (of Current RSS reader app fame) has made a new tool, Sourcefeed, which he calls a ‘pop-up RSS service’ enabling you to create a site-less feed of posts which can only be accessed by a/ any feed reader. Mine is here - F...

Ok, this has been unbelievably fun to see what everyone is writing about (publicly) and the crazy, zany ideas you have for the api! 🙏🙏🙏 www.sourcefeed.app/discover

Neat new service called Sourcefeed from Terry Godier to publish RSS feeds: "RSS-only. No website, no inbox, no algorithm. Subscribers read it where they choose, in whatever reader they already trust." My first feature request: let the title field be blank for short posts. 🙂

Today I'm launching Sourcefeed - a pop-up RSS service: https://blog.terrygodier.com/2026/04/28/today-im-launching-sourcefeed-a.html

This is a really thoughtful response by Max Obermeier to my “the last quiet thing” essay: maxobermeier.eu/Owning%20…

Decided to switch up my RSS flow a little bit. Trying out Current. www.terrygodier.com/current

Me too!

Somehow just catching this, but Stuart Breckenridge recently launched Gobbler, a no-nonsense rss aggregator. Looks extremely solid to me, and look at that: it works with Current (through the google reader compatible api). Nicely done, Stuart! #rss

A favor: please send me all of your favorite internet radio stations. Especially those run by one person. Send me any ambient streams of the real world you know of: coffee shops, street corners, gardens, whatever. Thank you!

Just read this essay by @terrygodier.bsky.social I resonated with how every new product now is asking you of something. This inspired me to start wearing my mechanical watch more often than my smart watch www.terrygodier.com/the-last-qui...

App Store Reviews are Busted: https://blog.terrygodier.com/2026/04/13/app-store-reviews-are-busted.html

So this ad is just downright trickery right? The CTA directly beneath the show I looked up says watch now. It’s styled like a button, even animated, and yet it’s no button. How can this possibly convert meaningful enough to be worth it?

New Casio day. This one is a Databank DBC32-1A. Can’t wait to set it up and nerd out for 3 hours with the doorstop sized manual crammed into the display stand.

🫡 until next time, Mr Jeopardy. I’ll get you on the next one.

It’s the same reason I prefer email to messenger apps. It gives me time to think.
