Ledgable stands on ideas other people explain better than a help page can. These are the links and videos we send people to, grouped by what you are trying to do.

RSS: following the web without an algorithm

• About Feeds — what a feed is, in one page.
• RSS in Plain English — Common Craft’s three-minute video, still the clearest.
• The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to RSS — a longer video on using feeds instead of social media.
• Open RSS — feeds for sites that have none.
• Kill the Newsletter — email newsletters as feeds.
• A feed for any YouTube channel.

Running a feed server

• Miniflux documentation — the server Ledgable is built against. Hosted or self-hosted.
• Self-hosting Miniflux — a current walkthrough with Docker.
• FreshRSS and Feedbin — the other servers Ledgable can speak to, in beta.
• MichaelFilter Full RSS — a server someone already filled, if you would rather not run one.

Podcasts

• How podcast feeds work.
• Podcast Index — the open directory the app searches.

• Creating a Bluesky app password, on video.

WordPress

• Learn WordPress — the official free courses, from first install to themes.

• Systems thinking — The Donella Meadows Project, and stocks, flows and feedback loops on video.
