Provided rss feed for newappsblog.com fails to be added

[nikolasdmtr]

The feed is https://www.newappsblog.com/atom.xml

It can be added normaly on other feed readers.

The message I get is "Access to this website is forbidden. Perhaps, this website has a bot protection mechanism?"

I encountered the same issue when I try to added this feed in Miniflux, and I also received Error 403 when adding it in Fluent Reader.

This website shows Cloudflare captcha when trying with curl, httpx, or the Golang HTTP client from the standard library.

Unless someone has a solution to bypass this bot protection, there is not much that can be done.

This clears things up. Thank you!
