RSS feeds for embeds

I was trying to parse the content field of your RSS (Atom?) feed, and I noticed I get a sort of flat structure for embedded posts like this:

<img src="..." width="64" style=" float: left; width: auto; max-width: 64x; margin-top: 1rem; margin-right: 1rem; border-radius: 32px; ">
<div class="npf_row">
  <div class="npf_col">
    <figure class="tmblr-full">
      <a class="post_media_photo_anchor" data-big-photo="..." data-big-photo-height="680" data-big-photo-width="669">
        <img class="post_media_photo image" src="..." srcset="..." sizes="..." alt="image">
      </a>
    </figure>
  </div>
</div>
<p> have you heard about the <b><a href="https://itch.io/b/2672/sickos-selection-1">Sicko’s Selection</a></b>? me and 14 other adult artists/authors put together a bundle of artbooks, novellas, and comics for you to enjoy! there’s over $75 worth of our hot hot smut in here, and you get it for just $15! </p>

Máxima asked:

Have you tried using serializd for reviewing and logging TV Shows?

I actually do log what I watch there kind of sporadically. It's all right! I wish it had a better app and were a bit more like Letterboxd in general, but it's certainly better than Trakt, its most direct competitor.

Part of the reason I don't use it is the lack of the app, but part of it is also that it's a lot of effort to log every single episode of anything I watch, but if I only log season-by-season I'll often forget to log at all when it comes to the finale.

The final nail in the coffin of using it the same way I do other review apps is that I just don't have that much to say about a single season of a television show. (I find I have similar issues when I try to write reviews for manga volumes.) There's often not that much different from the season before or the season after, and I'll usually express everything I have to say about the show in the first review or two and then run out of steam.

Brendan McLeod asked:

Cohost grid generator!

Hey, just wanted to thank you for making cohost grid generator, and hoping that you will keep it up online! It works great with bearblog and it makes my media posts look nice!

Yeah, I plan to keep all my generators online more or less indefinitely (except maybe letterboxd which does cost a bit of money to host a proxy). I might actually rework the grid generator a bit to be more explicitly targeted at general websites rather than just Cohost. Maybe add a mode where it provides you a simple stylesheet so it can use fewer inline classes and actually make the text properly responsive so captions look better on phones.
