If you love RSS, embrace Atom 1.0 :) Its the final modern form of RSS.

  Atom's problem is that RSS is also the final modern form of RSS.

  Why is Atom better?

    There might be other reasons, but chrismorgan linked a nice write-up in a sibling comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49136685 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49136685

      Thanks, good points there.

  Yeah, I've been writing software that provides feeds for RSS, but I exclusively use Atom. It's just a better format. It does create ambiguity when using a site like this because I'm not sure if my sites will qualify as having an RSS 2.0 feed or not.

  Atom was killed by podcasts. Tbh RSS 2.0 is good enough

    I was expecting that they would support podcasts almost immediately and couldn’t believe that they never did. It was so easy, nothing to it.
