  • One of the benefits when I used to use RSS was that the feed could be updated and cached so articles could be read when you don’t have an active Internet connection. Not as big of a deal these days, but a decade ago cell networks were spottier and free Wi-Fi wasn’t always available.

    I always loved how pulse layed out each of the feeds and showed the headline and first image of the article.

  • Back when Wi-Fi N was new, I was able to use a Wi-Fi router flashed with ddwrt to accomplish something similar.

    I was able to put the wap in receiver mode, so it acted like a Wi-Fi dongle. When connected to the Wi-Fi network it would act as a switch on the built in ports. I can’t remember for certain, but I think everything was still on the same subnet.
