Changelog #005: RSS is back
RSS is back, baby!
Hey folks! Remember when everyone said RSS was dead? Well, we're here to tell you that RSS is not only alive and kicking—it's experiencing a full-blown renaissance.
Why RSS matters now
Unlike social media feeds, RSS gives you pure, unfiltered content from sources you choose. No mysterious algorithms deciding what you should see. No tracking your reading habits or serving targeted ads. Just you and the content.
RSS also gives creators direct access to their audience without platform intermediaries taking cuts or changing rules. You decide what goes into your information diet.
What's new in the RSS ecosystem
The RSS reader landscape has exploded with new options: - Desktop readers like Reeder and NetNewsWire - Web-based readers like Feedly, NewsBlur, and (of course) Moogle Reader - Newsletter platforms with seamless RSS integration
Creating RSS feeds has never been easier, either. Most blogging platforms and newsletter tools generate RSS feeds automatically.
Use cases that are thriving
- News and journalism - Independent journalists bypassing social media algorithms
- Developer resources - Tech blogs, documentation sites, and coding tutorials
- Academic and research - Universities sharing papers and updates
- Personal branding - Content creators building direct relationships with their audience
What's next
We're working on some exciting features: - AI-powered summaries - Get quick summaries of long articles - Mobile apps - Native iOS and Android experiences - Social features - Share and discuss articles with friends
