“We removed the RSS feed since this technology became obsolete”
I&#x27;m a very happy daily RSS user, but we ought to be upfront about its ginormous deficiencies:<p>- every day I deal with broken links and broken images because my feed reader doesn&#x27;t know from which URL it should resolve relative links<p>- there&#x27;s no pagination mechanism, or way for a client to ask for &quot;all posts since last Friday&quot;. If you want your feed to always have all posts available, you need to include the entirety of your archive in every feed response.<p>- if I want to follow any link I get kicked back out to a bloated web page<p>- lots of posts include iframes, or content that only makes sense with JS enabled<p>- XML<p>Despite this, I still love RSS. It&#x27;s what we&#x27;ve got and we should continue to make the most of it. But it also sucks, and it&#x27;s not any surprise that mostly only technical people use it. I think feeds are pretty much doomed to keep breaking and disappearing. Many of the replacements or pseudo-replacements that people come up with seem fine, but the problem - as always - is getting people to actually use it, which mostly never happens.
