Hey. Thanks for the site; cool.
The RSS feed is not working as it should, well not with my reader app that is [I'm a Thunderbird user].
Also, I really can't stand 'white pages with black text'. Any chance that you could implement a profile based theme changer?
I look forward to seeing how this site grows as I've yet to find a bitcoin community to which I feel that I can belong.
Be safe; peace.
I'll give it a test with thunderbird. I haven't used RSS recently so I've been relying on user bug reports.
We have a github issue open for dark mode, and the approach suggested by John will allow user theming pretty easily.
If you have anymore advice, let it rip. Looking forward to seeing you here!

Thanks for the quick response.
Regarding the RSS feed; it could very well be that I'm simply expecting more in the way of content from the feed, rather than any fundamental issue with your implementation.
Some time ago, I implemented a web server based RSS reader. This is my code for one such feed...
<ul>
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
$dom = simplexml_load_file("https://blog.rapid7.com/rss/");
echo "<hr>";
foreach ($dom->channel->item as $item)
{
print "<li>";
// print "<a href='{$item->link}'target='_blank'>Link</a>";
$d = strtotime($item->pubDate);
echo "<h3>Publishing Date: " . date("d-m-Y",$d) . "</h3>";
echo "<h3>Item Title: " . $item->title . "</h3>";
// echo "<br>";
echo "<h4>" . $item->description . "</h4>";
//print "</a>";
echo "<a href='{$item->link}'target='_blank'><b>Open Item in a new TAB</b></a>";
print "</li>";
echo "<hr>";
}
?>
</ul>
... It's not that I think that you don't know what you're doing, as you clearly do; it's more likely than not, that I'm expecting too much from your RSS feed. The code here is a simple demonstration of what is fetched for each <item / channel / dom> which may or may not be of use to you.
