One of the great things about having a blog is that you get a space that is entirely yours, where you share whatever you want and you make it look exactly how you want it to look. It’s a labor of creativity and self-expression.

An encouraging aspect of having a blog is also being read by others. I love receiving emails from people who liked a post. It’s just nice to know I’m not shouting into the void!

But take for instance posts I wrote last year or many years ago. How do those get discovered?

Perhaps you wrote an awesome essay on your favorite topic back in 2022. How can I or anyone else stumble upon your work?

That was my motivation for making powRSS.

powRSS is a public RSS feed aggregator to help you discover the side of the internet that seldom appears on corporate search engines. It surfaces posts and blogs going all the way back to 1995. You never know what you’re going to find and I think it’s really fun.

Today I made a video showing how it works.
