## Description

This plugin improves the default in-browser view of feeds to make them user-friendly.
It makes it easier for human readers and adds a link to [Aboutfeeds.com](https://aboutfeeds.com/)
to introduce new users to feeds.

The plugin uses `pretty-feed.xsl` to transform the feeds.

### Credits

 * The XSL file is based on [pretty-rss v3](https://github.com/genmon/aboutfeeds/blob/main/tools/pretty-feed-v3.xsl)
   by Matt Webb.
 * Darek Kay has [a great article on styling feeds](https://darekkay.com/blog/rss-styling/)
   using this method on their blog.
 * CSS insperation from [Dave Rupert’s feed](https://daverupert.com/atom.xml).
 * This plugins uses the [ArrayToXML](https://github.com/spatie/array-to-xml) class
   by Spatie

## FAQ

### How does this work?

It adds a stylesheet to apply a visual transformation to the default feed view. 
The stylesheet adjusts the default in-browser feed view to provide information about
what a feed is and how they work.

### Are there any limitations?

From the developer of the `pretty-feed` stylesheet:

> Styling the feed _prevents_ the browser from automatically opening a newsreader
> application. This is a trade off, but it’s a benefit to new users who won’t have
> a newsreader installed, and they are saved from seeing or downloaded obscure XML
> content. For existing newsreader users, they will know to copy-and-paste the feed
> URL, and they get the benefit of an in-browser feed preview.

Great addon. Works just as i wanted. Only improvement i could think of is that i
wish i could modify the texts, since my page is not in English so none of the texts
work for me from the get-go.
