What we keep from each story
- The headline, the author when the feed names one, the time it was published and the link to the original.
- A short excerpt of 300 characters or less, taken from the summary the publisher puts in its own feed.
- A small thumbnail only when the feed itself supplies one. It links to the story.
- Never the article itself. Stories leave the site after 30 days.
How we read feeds
Our reader names itself FirstStrikeBot/1.0 (+https://firststrike.lanombre.com/sources; First Strike headline reader), reads each feed no more than once every 15 minutes, asks only for what changed, and obeys each site's robots.txt, including any rule for FirstStrikeBot.
Publishers
If you publish one of these feeds and want your stories removed or your feed taken off the list, send a removal request. We act on requests within two working days, and you can also write to firststrike@lanombre.com.
