Didn't use TypeScript, so can't say much. I guess some types are better than no types, and it's easier to use for JavaScript developers. Personally, I'd prefer a fully typed language.

It's still written in Ur/Web. And the type-safety of Ur/Web is the reason I started writing it -- I couldn't imagine myself using untyped JavaScript. Ur/Web is not very practical for reasons other than type safety:

Interesting, why you're using 3 readers? Why use BazQux for GitHub and nothing else (it supports Facebook feeds too)?

Thank you for using the reader. It's a pleasure to see that people like what you do.

Unfortunately, I don't have enough resources to optimize site for screen readers. I think that mobile/desktop apps handle accessibility better so you could use them with BazQux Reader or other service.

There is a standard <wfw:commentRss> item that exists in almost any Wordpress blog feed. And my feed reader ( https://bazqux.com ) supports it for years. But blog post comments is completely another medium from Twitter. It r

I did a feed reader which supports blog comments years ago ( https://bazqux.com ) and first thing many people asked me is how to turn comments off. There are some good blogs with good communities and interesting discussions in com

RSS has <wfw:commentRss> for linking comments feed and <comments> for linking page with comments. Atom has <link rel=replies> or just <link rel=alternate type="application/atom+xml"> for comment feeds.

I've implemented displaying of blog posts comments in BazQux Reader ( https://bazqux.com ) years ago. But in general it works well only for niche sites with good communities. Popular sites have too many spam/bullshit in

I would shamelessly suggest to try my web based reader - https://bazqux.com - simple business model, no ads/tracking, just read your feeds effectively. But in general that's bad. Having feeds support in a browser is a

Can't resist to recommend my own BazQux Reader https://bazqux.com It's a paid feed reader (so if you like to move between closing free readers every few years it's not for you).

In list view it's possible to click on the article time. There is also old list view mode (before I've changed it to Google Reader-like one). It's in settings => List view => Normal. It has clickable article subject.

Ur/Web is used mostly for generating JavaScript and part of web server. Most backend is written in Haskell. You could look more here https://github.com/bazqux/bazqux-urweb

RSS readers are quite resource intensive. They need to continuously update feeds (even when you're not using the site) and when you reading they need to remember each post you've read. It's write heavy load that most database
