rss: ingest atom/rss feed contents already decoding HTML special chars #37

Without this move, the main UI could show info and feed entries with crude HTML marks, as in "&#8220". Translating that at the source is the best move, since they get stored right in the DB.

Ping?

ckampfe commented 5 months ago

I think this makes sense. I'm trying to test this.

ckampfe commented 5 months ago

@glima do you have an example of an RSS feed that exhibits this behavior that I can test?

glima commented 5 months ago

Yes, try https://kottke.org/

Yep, I think this makes sense and seems to work. Let's give it a shot. Thank you for the contribution @glima!
