I'd argue that this is for many about solving a problem. RSS is a stand-in here for a technology that enables users to consume contents from distributed authors with a client they prefer, with the default option of not having an algori

I don't even think RSS is less popular in absolute numbers, there have been interesting articles about the RSS reader user population after Google Reader that suggest otherwise. But it can still be less popular relatively - when newcom

That's something I did implement in Pipes, but the API limit and API changes made it hard and I basically can't guarantee that it works. https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge is an alternative you might li

This is a big part of why I think that making feeds better discoverable could help a lot. Often the feeds are still there, but the browsers are not showing it to the site visitors.

by onli 5y ago
Right! This is actually done in blogging platforms, at least in the old ones like Wordpress (last I looked, and I think) and Serendipity. I wouldn't guarantee though that this code still works or that readers do use it...

RSS and ATOM are completely interchangeable, the format does not matter here imo. If ATOM had completely took over and everyone used it now instead of closed platforms, I'd be happy. As it is my message would be "Use one of the tw

Valid points! My hope is that the one would follow from the other. If consumption is easy and awareness better, creators would want their content available via a feed. Think Youtube: With ads integrated into the videos every feed subscriber

Joining the chat at https://gitter.im/FosterRSS/community would probably not work as well, as it would not be limited to relevant updates?

Ah, the discovery angle. I didn't think of that. Looks like a nice project, and it shows what RSS can help build. Fits well I think.

Should also depend on whether a push extension is used, then the reader can fetch the feed less often. The feed of that blog seems to be a plain RSS feed without that.

Wordpress does support both. You can make a blog on wordpress.com right now and you get both standards activated by default in the RSS feed. That takes care of half the web ;) (well, it would if it's also true for standalone Wordpress

That's not true, but might be a common misconception. RSS rode the wave of the realtime hype at that time and has multiple standards for push notifications. RSSCloud und Pubsubhubbub are the two immediately in my mind, note that PuSH g

No, that's exactly what they do test and test well. Their model mostly breaks down for computer technology and peripherals in that space. When testing a mouse they would test how often it can click before breaking down, and that's

Yes, this all follows from the DSGVO/GDPR and - depending where you are - their local implementations. When data means personal data, which includes IPs and certainly things like websites one visits, connection metadata an ISP would co

It's illegal to keep personal data of users without either legitimate interest or a direct agreement, that's completely clear under the DSGVO. If the operational logs are needed to fulfill the contract with the user then sure, the

That should be pretty much the same thing. The moment the illegal data retention law gets disabled the ISPs have no right to collect and retain that data anymore.
