It never ceases to frustrate me that these sorts of articles invariably focus on RSS, and say little to nothing about Atom, when Atom is what you should <i>always</i> use for general-purpose feeds. This article mentions Atom once: > <i>(Note: there's something very similar to RSS called "Atom", but all modern apps work equally with both.)</i> Here’s what I say about it: If you’re doing podcasts, use RSS, because almost nothing supports Atom there, because for all practical purposes Apple took over and froze the ecosystem at a certain point in time that was <i>just</i> before Atom became popular and fixed up the mess that was RSS. If you’re doing any other type of feed, use Atom, because it’s technically substantially superior to RSS and supported just as well. (Look through older comments of mine for more explanation: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=chrismorgan%20atom&sort=byPopularity&type=comment.) Can we please stop talking about RSS and talk about <i>feeds</i>? A bit like we <i>finally</i> mostly stopped talking about SSL in favour of TLS.
