User Story

I am a person using Zuckless news. It generates an URL, then the last update data is always the first time of retrieval, and I don't see any update after days.

the search functionality works but would be better explore all the index in any way.

then I copy paste the url generated:

in Thunderbird and press add:

it say is "verified"

and it load (one post in this case, because "The Time Travellers" didn't get that much attention

first issue: the link point to localhost, second issue: the subject isn't that expressive third issue: find a nicer way rather than arrows to render the text fourth issue: think to the importance of pictures, eventually serving them as third party?

The problem

After the first time that gets load, the newsfeed never refresh:

In this case, I subscribed to Algorithm but none of the new posts mentioning that keyword show up.

I checked on the server. in Algorithms, seems there are not recent updates, which is unexpected because it is a topic appearing often in my timeline. Data science, for example, has entries: https://facebook.tracking.exposed/api/v2/en/noogle/Data%20science but it isn't updated the RSS. I was thinking this was due to the lack of expiration index, but it is not image so I'll have to debug why the feeds aren't refreshing.
