Thatās so cool! Reminds me of a blog post by Sara Soueidan on her birds on a wire <hr>; dunno if you found it during your research, but imo it has some interesting insights re: accessibility and reader modes/apps.

Iām curious why, especially since youāre abandoning JSON Feeds (which I have not found the lack of support for youāve cited and are so much easier to work with).
RSS only specifies pubDate. If I want to provide both the date the post was originally published and an update date, RSS doesnāt support that, but Atom does. Iāve been getting around this by using modified date instead of created date and appending both dates as a footer to each post along with contact details, but Iāve had people asking why posts originally written in 2021 are showing up as if I had published them last week.
Admittedly, JSON feeds support both creation and modified dates, but I donāt find JSON easier to work with than XML, especially when writing shell scripts. As for compability, Elfeed for Emacs doesnāt support JSON feeds. As far as I know, neither does newsboat. This might not matter to you, but it matters to me.
Iāve never seen either of those readers. Interestingly, I basically have never found Atom in the wild. That said, RSS 2.0 has the ability to add custom attributes via namespaces for things like modified date.

Very cute! 
I donāt know why, or if anything can be done about it, but I canāt view your page on mobile. (iPhone, Firefox) I get ātoo many http redirectionsā/ āload cannot follow more than 20 redirectionsā. I do not know what that even means, but thought Iād mention it. On my laptop everything works wonderfully.

Kind of a small update, but I added a few words about my personal beliefs here: https://nosycat.codeberg.page/ ā had them written down for years, really, but never had a good place to put them online before. Then again thatās one thing I like about making websites: sometimes the very shape of text on a page suggests what to put there.

Migrated my Mass Effect Legendary Edition mod list from Google Docs to my website. By doing this, I have finally moved all my public video game mod lists to my website.

I donāt even know if this is something you could fix. Maybe someone who knows more about these kinds of things will read this and can enlighten us. Until then I do what you suggest on your site, and view it on my laptop. 
I enjoyed reading your beliefs. Would you mind giving a bit more color to your thoughts about HTML? In particular this block:
I once described HTML5 as an admission by manufacturers that major browsers never truly implemented the previous 4.0 standard. Thatās a bad thing; as a friend pointed out, web standards are now dictated by Google, and weāre even worse off (in this regard) than two decades ago before Firefox came out.
I get the part about Google influencing W3C and driving standards; Iām more curious about your note on HTML 4 and how weāre worse off today versus twenty years ago.
Context: I was very leaned into web development in the mid-90s up through around 2004. Coming back after a twenty year gap, everything seems like magic comparatively. I get that a big part of that is the reality that Chromium underpins like 90% of available browsers out there (along with the whole WebKit ā Chromium split, i.e. ācross-browser compatibilityā is less of an issue comparatively today because of this). Curious if you can add more to your note. If not, all good.
I mean Google has been a lot more powerful for the past decade than MS ever was when IE6 had a quasi-monopoly on the browser market. That has far-reaching consequences.
I guess I was hoping for something a bit more concrete about what explicitly has made the web ecosystem worse (specifically about technology other than cookies/fingerprinting as clearly Google and the ad ecosystem has affected the web). Iām not here to debate whether Google is dominant (IMO it clearly has been) or that ad tech has had far-reaching impacts to user experience (it definitely has).
Iām wondering what specifically has died on the vine because of Googleās influence or been made worse when it comes to HTML and related standards. Itās just hard for me to look at the web tech available today, compare it to what was available 20 years ago, and think āitās worse today.ā All good, I can do my own research.
EDIT: Oh and btw, if Iām incorrectly reading into your comment, please feel free to disregard. If youāre just referring to the web āexperienceā being worse today, I get that.
