Should periodically try to auto-discover Dat for HTTPS

[da2x]

Periodically, (every two weeks?) the client should try to auto-discover Dat sources for all unique HTTPS feed domains. This helps inform web publishers that there is interest in Dat, and t helps users migrate from HTTPS to Dat.

I’m not sure you can do the DNS-based auto-discovery method, but you should at least be able to use the https://{domain}/.well-known/dat mechanism.

Hi,

Personally, I wouldn't prefer changing user data automatically.

First, because it would go beyond the simplicity of Ridder, a tool that takes the content from a specified list and presents it in a readable way.

Second, because it would not be ethical, in my opinion, to let the tool decide if it should use DAT or not. It's not an RSS reader that prefers dat:// over everything, it's just an RSS reader, where dat:// is also a possibility.

I'm open for a deeper discussion about this 😄
