I knew OPML only as a format where I export and migrate my podcast subscriptions; but it could be a great way to make a webpage of recommended blogs and podcasts that people can immediately subscribe to. The opml can even be styled. What if people share annotated OPML collections, rather than web rings? Will play around with this in the near future.
@inky@rra I’ve been using #OPML+XSLT to create website for a while now and I've been really happy with it.
The low-level tooling is amazing (xsltproc) but high-level tooling is not perfect for cross-platform editing.
On #macOS I use OmniOutliner by @OmniGroup , on Linux/FreeBSD I can use Electric Drummer by @davew , but I think there's a place for cross-platform improvement.
What bothers me is that some applications do link as MarkDown while others use <a> tag.
@rra I was thinking about OPML more and wondering if there are anyways of transforming an OPML into a markdown like format (more human readable etc) cause I love the idea of OPML but its not very pretty to look at...
