Brainstorming site name changes in web readers 0 ▲ with words, wonder 1 hour ago · Tech · hide · 0 comments Recently, one of the websites I follow (not this one!) changed their name. Artemis, the web reader I maintain, was still using the old name for the feed. This makes sense in the case of Artemis because users can choose their own names for an author; if the author name were synced with what was published in the feed, a user’s preferences would be overwritten.With that said, I think this logic could be extended a bit. I was thinking that Artemis could track the names of a feed every time a feed is polled. If the name changes – perhaps across more than three polling jobs, so as to avoid scenarios where a feed name is accidentally updated for whatever reason – Artemis could inform a user that the name has changed, and offer the option to either change the name of the feed, or dismiss the notification. If the notification is dismissed, it would not appear again unless the site changed its name again.Perhaps the notification could appear inline next to an entry in a user's Artemis feed,… No comments yet.
