Two ways to get new posts:
RSS
What is RSS? Really Simple Syndication is a decades-old open format for following a site without an account, email, or algorithm. You add a feed URL to a reader app; it checks the site for you and shows you what’s new. This site publishes a feed for every corner — posts, recipes, music, and each topic pillar — so you can subscribe to only the parts you care about.
The main full-content RSS 2.0 feed is at omarcrosby.com/index.xml. Any modern feed reader will pick it up.
Recommended readers:
- Reeder — polished, quick, macOS/iOS. My pick if you’re choosing your first reader.
- NetNewsWire — free, open-source, macOS/iOS. What I use day-to-day.
- Feedly — web + mobile, free tier.
- Inoreader — web + mobile, generous free tier.
- Miniflux — self-hostable, minimalist.
Category-specific feeds are also generated per pillar:
Point your reader at any of the above to narrow to just that pillar.
Section-specific feeds — separate from posts, if you only want one of these running indices:
- Recipes — recipes added or reorganized under /recipes/
- Music — every song added to the now-playing log
Coming soon. RSS is the durable option; email is nicer for people who don’t want to run a feed reader. Once the newsletter is live, the subscribe form will appear here.
Cross-post visibility
Posts are also cross-posted to LinkedIn and occasionally X. Following either of those is a lightweight way to see new posts land — though the reading experience on this site is better and there are no ads.
