Sample Instructions

To use unmung for feeds, enter the URL of an Atom or RSS feed as a parameter after feed?feed=, for example:

  • https://unmung2.appspot.com/feed?feed=https://boingboing.net/feed

You get an h-feed rendition of the feed.

This means you can subscribe to non-microformat feeds using a reader such as shrewdness or Woodwind.

Dead Domains

unmung.com

The domain unmung.com and subdomains (formerly linked from this page):

  • www.unmung.com
  • feed.unmung.com

are lost due to domain registrar problems (Google Domains originally using GoDaddy then somehow losing a way to sign-in and edit domains, then domains expiring and being squatted)
