    I use feedly.com to follow the RAPS RSS feed. For the last 2 weeks, it says invalid feed. I have tried contacting feedly support and are saying the RAPS RSS feed is invalid, though I got it to work in Outlook, and it is a RAPS issue.

    Feedly is how I keep track of the up and coming happenings in this field. The RAPS RSS feed is my #1 feed. I wanted to check if there is anyone here that uses feedly or another RSS reader to follow the RAPS feed, and if you can check if it is working for you.​

    I was inspired by this article from RAPS in 2014 when I first joined regulatory to use RSS feeds to keep up: https://www.raps.org/regulatory-focus%E2%84%A2/news-articles/2014/8/using-rss-feeds-as-a-regulatory-intelligence-tool-the-(updated-list-of)-feeds-you-need-to-follow

    Hi Anon.

    It works for me, but I've only just checked it on reading your post; I've fallen out of using it as it's on my personal phone.  I can only think you could have encountered a problem with an update to the app or the RAPs site, I think the site was updated at some point fairly recently. I assume you've already tried removing and re-adding the RSS feed?

    I'm using 'feedly classic' on android. 


    *update - my feed shows posts from 8 hours ago and 17 days ago, nothing in between. Perhaps there was a problem and it's just been fixed!

    Thanks for checking. I also use feedly classic on my Android, but use the website more on my computer (since it is all synced).

    Last night about 7 PM EST, suddenly 50 or so articles came into the RAPS feed. And it came in, even though some RSS feed validators said it wasn't valid (e.g. W3C service). The support staff at feedly had told me the feed was invalid prior to that.

    I think you may be right that maybe the folks at RAPS are doing something. I use feedly very heavily for Work, Personal, and Local topics, to stay up to date on everything. It's so easy to scroll through. I had a Feedly Pro membership years ago, but then stopped it because all the new features were in the Pro+. I may sign up for Pro+ sometime because feedly can do things that other free tools I used to use don't work anymore (converting an E-mail to RSS, so E-mail updates from places can be seen via feedly rather than cluttering up my E-mail).
