  We seem to have something in common: there is a serialisation form, we strongly dislike. But what I cannot understand is: why the heck would anyone torture anyone else to read or even write XML? XML is the absolutely worst configuration language I can imagine. I mean: when is something an attribute, when a tag on its own? What is even a list? And don’t forget to include a full HTTP URI for the namespace, otherwise the tag is not defined.

  I don’t want to read full magazines. I need more or less what an RSS reader can do. But in good.

  This. Is. Exactly. What. I. Wish. For. A. Very. Long. Time.

  Nowadays every news site has paywalls. I’m willing to pay for good work, but if I pay a single news provider, I’m missing too much. Nobody is willing to pay for every publisher. Even if an article is just a few cents I neither want to be annoyed with the payment process nor do I want to manually keep track of how much I spent for news in a month.

  We really need a platform providing a news flat rate, aggregating most larger publishers.

  I had to really laugh at “screamy dreamy”

  To be fair: This is what anyone expects when you install software for Windows. Just download a more or less “good looking” binary blob, execute it with administrative privileges and hope that it will do what you want it to do.
