An RSS Reader Written Entirely by GPT-4

  • I have to say this is a pretty shitty RSS reader but is pretty impressive to be written by a robot.

    Some thoughts on first reading.

    - Only supports the RSS format.

    - Crashes if some properties are not available.

    - Dark mode toggle is never actually read. Instead the internal value is just changed on every click. Mostly poor coding style.

    - It used textContent so no HTML injection! Although it just avoided showing the entry content at all. Which would require safely rendering untrusted HTML.
