sources: feed-first catalog — 39 sources on RSS/Atom, 7 rescued from skip, Reddit back via .rss
Probed all 59 sources for feeds. Highlights: Atlas Obscura, This Is Why I'm Broke, A Continuous Lean, Gear Patrol, The Awesomer, Permanent Style, and The Browser all rescued from blocked/skip status by working feeds; all four Reddit subs work again via the anonymous .rss endpoint (top/.json remains dead); MoMA Design Store + Kikkerland switched to Shopify products.json endpoints. Newly skipped (confirmed dead/dormant): Tools and Toys, One Thing Well, Cool Material, Werd.com, Unusual Hotels of the World.
