I'm doing some work in FeedThing to patch up some commonly seen funkiness in feed presentation. So for the first time in years I’ve loaded up some other RSS readers to see how they are coping. For the most part I think FeedThing stacks up well.
Two things really struck me though:
1. Three-pane readers feel very much like email, and I thought everyone hated email?
2. Displaying media served as enclosures is not universal, so Mastodon feeds can look very bare.
