This week’s LW2.0 update is late, which is entirely my fault. User interviews had led to a number of improvements to the site, and have made me very glad we’re doing a slow rollout.
Last weekend was the CFAR Hack Day, where a team added RSS support to LW2.0. That is, we could set up the Yvain account so that it automatically creates linkposts from a particular RSS feed. Given the potential for spam, this seems like a thing that only admins should be able to add to accounts, but it means we have a complete replacement and integration for the Recent on Rationality Blogs sidebar. We also have plans to include some sort of exclusionary feature. (That is, it’d be convenient for Scott if he could add a ‘no-lw’ tag or something that causes a post to not get automatically linkposted.)
