    I appreciate the effort as RSS is the best way to read a lot of sources but is login/signup really needed?

      you can click any of the demo boxes on the home page to use it without signing up

      if you want to save your preferences though, we _do_ need you to sign up, so that we can save who you follow, etc. to a database.

      e.g. here is a direct link to the top headlines: https://sprinklz.io/demo/headlineNews

      glad you're feeling this way too!

        It should be: Demos: (no login required) Some may think it redundant. Not me.

    I get a "failed to load feed with name home" on first load. Recurs on hard refresh

      hm -- are you doing anything spicy with your browser?

      i tried signup on chrome/firefox/safari + demos and i can't manage to repro.

      im assuming this is after submitting signup?

        This is without logging in, on: https://sprinklz.io/feed/home. Occurs in incognito too. Nothing blocked on the network so seems client side.

          i have a guess at what's happening, but it would be a little bit of an unusual/edge case -- i made a backend change and it should maybe work now in this case?

          if not i will crawl into the deep cave for a longer debugging session
