Mmm ... Thanks for the explanation, but it just feels like half of a feed reader (not removing articles read etc). And the format gives me a headache.

Stick it in your favourite reader (eg phone app)

That said Feeder didn’t like the URL in URL format and barfed on this because it has Twitter in it. I think OP needs to URL encode the params.

Why not just put those feed in your RSS reader? What does the extra step add?

The only reason I can think it’s a handy way to share an aggregation

I've thought about encoding the params, but that would make it harder for humans to read and edit.

It's not intended to replace your feed reader if you already have one, but even then it's still useful to discover and share feeds.
