RSS Feed Best Practices
I work more with podcast feeds vs article feeds, but the most important lesson I learned when it comes to RSS is that what readers actually do has is not necessarily what you would think, or sometimes even not what the spec says. It's the wild west, even with major readers, and you have to do the work and test in different players if you're producing your own RSS.We have a huge internal document of how RSS elements map to UI in every player and all the gotchas, and we still discover new things years after initial development.
