I see no mention of push notifications as a sort of alternative. Technologically, the polling of RSS feeds to check for new content is a bit wasteful. What I'd like to see is a setup that uses push notifications to gather new content or maybe even a combination, where the push notification tells the RSS reader to grab the new content.
Another interesting fact about RSS is, that it's the main distribution solution for podcasts.
- onli 9y agoRSS has that already, exactly that. It is enabled by Pubsubhubbub (PuSH), an (older?) alternative (used by Wordpress) is rsscloud.
- breischl 9y agoYep, sadly it didn't really get going until RSS was moving out of the mainstream. Really need setup, though. Just noticed that it was renamed to WebSub and adopted as a W3C standard earlier this year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSub https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSub
- dragonwriter 9y agoPubSubHubbub (even before it became WebSub) was divorced from the original tie to Atom or RSS.
