Feed not found #4521

It’s because the HTML for the blog doesn’t include a If you would suggest that NetNewsWire’s heuristics could be improved here, I’d agree. False negatives and false positives are too easy. |

Ah, okay, gotcha, thanks! I completely forgot that I am minifying those out of the final HTML files (like this). Since other feed readers (at least the ones I've tried and mentioned above) are fine with it, and according to the HTML5 specification it's okay to omit them, I'd say it'd be nice if NetNewsWire could also handle HTMLs like this. But! In order to not just be demanding features for free: could you please point me towards the part of the codebase of NetNewsWire that handles this? I've never written a line of Swift myself (coming from .NET/TypeScript/Go background), but I would be more than happy to give it a try and submit a patch for this. |

Thanks for the offer! But this is going to take more thought than just dropping the check for the body tag — we need a good set of rules that minimizes false negatives and positives. Requires research and thinking and testing. |

I see. Nevertheless, if you need help with that, my offer stands. :) |
First: really cool project. Thank you very much for making these apps available for free!
Second: my issue.
I have my blog: https://blog.bozso.dev
Which has its feed available at: https://blog.bozso.dev/feed.xml
I reference that feed in the
<head>of each page like this:But for some reason, NetNewsWire (6.1.9 on MacOS) can't add the feed when I give it only the URL of my blog (https://blog.bozso.dev). It has no issues when I give it the direct URL of the feed file (https://blog.bozso.dev/feed.xml).
Both Feedly and feedreader.com are okay with just https://blog.bozso.dev, they can add the feed from that URL all right.
Is it a bug in NetNewsWire that makes it fail to identify my feed or is there something I am doing wrong in the code of my website?
