Redocly vs RSS-Bridge: at a glance
What is Redocly?
Redocly fixes EU-region SSO and log-retention limits in three platform releases in one day.
Redocly ships platform builds daily. After renaming `reunite` to `platform` in config 0.70.0 and wiring it through Platform v2026-10-31.1, three November 2 releases fixed SSO failing for EU-hosted projects without `access.residency`, an organization switcher that ignored SSO-required orgs, runtime logs showing more history than the plan allows, and a hidden team-manager list after plan downgrades.
What is RSS-Bridge?
RSS-Bridge resurfaces after a year with a date tag and a Bluesky fix, but no release notes.
RSS-Bridge generates feeds for sites that dropped theirs, and its releases are batches of community fixes to individual site bridges plus a few new ones. The last documented release was 2025-08-05. A new 2026-09-30 tag has appeared whose only visible change is a Bluesky bridge null-handling fix, with no published notes alongside it.

Redocly
6.3INFRA · APIS
Redocly fixes EU-region SSO and log-retention limits in three platform releases in one day.
◆ Current state
Redocly ships platform builds daily. After renaming `reunite` to `platform` in config 0.70.0 and wiring it through Platform v2026-10-31.1, three November 2 releases fixed SSO failing for EU-hosted projects without `access.residency`, an organization switcher that ignored SSO-required orgs, runtime logs showing more history than the plan allows, and a hidden team-manager list after plan downgrades.
◆ Where it's heading
Recent work concentrates on access control and plan enforcement around SSO, data residency and RBAC, next to the rename and the AI agent's support-desk features. The fixes suggest region-specific hosting and plan tiers are still being hardened.
◆ Prediction
Expect more access and plan-boundary fixes in daily platform builds, and further support-desk features for the agent; when the `reunite` key will stop working is unclear.
RSS-Bridge
0.0INFRA · APIS
RSS-Bridge resurfaces after a year with a date tag and a Bluesky fix, but no release notes.
◆ Current state
RSS-Bridge generates feeds for sites that dropped theirs, and its releases are batches of community fixes to individual site bridges plus a few new ones. The last documented release was 2025-08-05. A new 2026-09-30 tag has appeared whose only visible change is a Bluesky bridge null-handling fix, with no published notes alongside it.
◆ Where it's heading
The core is stable PHP and the work lives in the roughly 400 site-specific scrapers, which break whenever a target site changes markup or adds bot protection. Releases have slowed from every few months to once a year, so maintenance is continuing on master faster than it is being packaged.
◆ Prediction
Unclear from the feed whether 2026-09-30 will get a written release; if it does, expect the usual mix of bridge repairs and bot-protection workarounds.
