A browser-based RSS and Atom reader for Awesome Seattle News Feeds. Bluesky posts load in their own section.
Storage and refresh
Reading state and cached articles are stored locally in IndexedDB, with no account or server sync. Clearing browser data removes them. Backups are local JSON files.
Healthy feeds refresh at most every 15 minutes. Failed feeds retry less often automatically; Refresh retries them immediately. Unsaved content is kept for 30 days, up to 150 items per feed. Saved items remain until removed.
Privacy and security
- GitHub serves the site; Cloudflare proxies feed requests. Both receive your IP address and request metadata. Cloudflare sees requested feeds; publishers see proxy requests, without your cookies or credentials. Reading state is not uploaded.
- No analytics or third-party fonts. Feed HTML is sanitized with DOMPurify; scripts, frames, forms, and remote images are removed. A content security policy restricts scripts and connections.
- Publisher and archive sites are contacted only when you follow their links. They receive your IP address and may use cookies; links send no referrer. Ghostarchive searches receive the article URL with
utm_* parameters removed. Archived copies may not exist.
