RSS is great, but: If I could add one thing to a standard RSS setup, it would be a volume knob for each subscribed feed. Is a feed too noisy? You can unsubscribe. But what if you had another less-drastic option to "turn it down"? That's doable if you have some way of assigning scores to individual posts within the feed. Such scores could come from the feed publisher, other places like the reader's own social media accounts, or somewhere else. Have a user-determined threshold to determine what posts are worth showing the user. Then by "turn it down" the user means "bump the threshold up" (and vice versa). Via trial and error a user could more or less adjust it to where they want it. This could be built using RSS as one of the building blocks, but I don't know of anything like it.
