Ask HN: Anyone still using RSS feeds?
7 points by lalithaar 25 days ago | hide | past | favorite | 11 comments


I do but I feel it's long overdue for replacement. I've been working on a new protocol that includes timestamp filtering, real-time notifications, and optional things like 'likes' and 'comments'. I use it everyday and I load it with content from RSS feeds. Not ready for sharesies yet though


I have a low volume rss feed for my static-HTML articles, but I'm also using rss for the embedded mastodon feed on my website.

Yes. I just debugged problems with our RSS feed at work. I have my own intelligent RSS reader called YOShInOn which learns my preferences.


I see bots trying to generate feeds in my access logs. Some of them are coded very poorly, ignore cache-controls, re-check articles every 30 seconds indefinitely. So it would seem they are still used. daily-digest/1.0 (Article Reader) is the worst one I have seen thus far.


Yes. It's how I browse HN.

Yes, every day.


How else could I find the interesting 1-3% of HN in a reasonable amount of time?


Yes


Miniflux is how I subscribe to much of my tech content via their RSS. Always a little disappointed when no RSS is available for interesting blogs.


Every day. Who doesn’t?


Yes
