Tagging the creators of some popular feeds here that may be returning 500s (they throw some form of error that our app view doesn’t in-turn know how to handle and turn into a 401) 🙏

Hey! What about an "under maintenance" status, i.e. "I'm migrating my database, everything is under control, the feed will be back shortly, please don't keep pressing Ctrl+R"? |

Update as of December 12: We're going to launch the initial PWI without custom feeds enabled to ensure performance/stability, and also to give devs more time to make tweaks to their feeds! Still excited to make custom feeds public down the line -- will share more info on timelines/dates when we have it 💪 |

Update as of April 12: Took a while, but feeds are now viewable on the public web interface! This respects the !no-unauthenticated flag, so users with that toggle on will not show up in feeds to logged out users. Let us know if you're experiencing any issues! |

We’re preparing to launch a public web interface soon, and we’re excited for more people to see your custom feeds! Ahead of that, we want to make sure that your feeds will work smoothly to handle both logged-out users and a potential increase in traffic.
This is the expected behavior from a feed generator:
Our API client expects
{ error, message }
.Tentatively, we’re expecting to launch the public web interface on Monday, December 18, in case this date helps you prepare for a potential increase in traffic. We’ve increased our caching to help mitigate this, and if too much traffic is causing multiple custom feeds to error out, we’ll restrict the public web interface to not show custom feeds.
Feel free to post questions in this thread!
