My feed for Ars Technica has disappeared a couple times today. It was gone when I first opened NewsBlur this morning, so I re-added it, but it disappeared again within a few minutes. I re-added it and it’s there for now but we’ll see if it sticks around, although I cannot figure out how to re-order it back to the top of my feed list (the “organize sites” functionality does not seem to apply the sorting to the list once the popup exits, and there is no way to manually re-order them that I can find).
Furthermore, after re-adding it, only 10 items are being displayed despite there being quite a few more in the feed (at least 20).
This morning newsblur appears to have everything that is currently listed in the feed. Deleting it and re-adding it also appears to show the full feed, so I’m not sure what was going on yesterday when it only loaded half the feed. It has also not disappeared again since the two instances yesterday. So it looks like those issues are no longer present.
There is one thing that doesn’t line up between the raw feed and NewsBlur’s view though. The third item down (right now, which will obviously change over time) appears in NewsBlur as:
“Echoes of Amazon? Apple reportedly working on hardware for Siri”
However, the raw feed has the title for this item as:
“Apple said to open up Siri with SDK, debut an Amazon Echo competitor”
The text “Echoes of Amazon” does not appear anywhere in the raw feed’s full text. I am not sure where that title would have come.
This item appears this way in the Ars feed you linked as well as the version I am using under my account.
