I am very grateful for this topic. There is a small recommendation for you that is Geometry Dash World, very happy if this game makes you relax.

Can we fetch the RSS feeds using this code? I want to fetch the RSS feeds from my Dixmax website. This application offers free content, and it's the best alternative to Netflix.
