It’s not just you. I’ve noticed the same for a while, and recently Urban Yukon has become positively sluggish in listing new posts, sometimes taking many hours before updating.
I don’t have any hard numbers, but if there is a slowdown, it’s likely due to the Feed Informer service that provides the list of postings on UY’s home page. Feed Informer has been mostly reliable, but occasionally hiccups and displays nothing at all on the UY page. (When that happens, try refreshing your browser.) Of course, for the price of exactly zero clams, I have no real complaints with the service.
But Feed Informer’s days are numbered anyway, as I have to replace it with custom code to enable the promised new features. My goal is to make the transition as seamless as possible, with no interruptions to the flow of postings. Once the new platform is in place, I expect to have a method to pick up new posts the instant that they are published.
I’m excited to see what you’ve come up with.
You and me both. I’m having “fun” with aspects of RSS/Atom at the moment, but a really nice Python library (Universal Feed Parser) is helping no end.
