Some recent threads made me think it would be nice to have a dedicated wiki page for useful stuff related to RSS (and other kinds of feeds). Feeds are the backbone of the open web and they can totally transform how you interact with it. They should be more widely accessible, both for reading and writing.
Contributions welcome! If you can’t edit, message @yequari or @xandra to ask for access instead of replying to the thread. Please reserve the replies for meta discussion.
In particular, we could use more resources for adding a feed to your own site.
