JSON feed, replacement form RSS/Atom

Looks much cleaner and sane than RSS/Atom.

Hope this catches on, RSS is/was very nice concept, but was kind of sidelined, can't remember why it is not that popular anymore, there was some major reason popularity dropped.

Given that most sites don't offer feeds any more or have hidden them so most people won't know they exist, I don't think this will make much of a difference.

Quite a few sites still support RSS. Even those that don't announce their support, can have a living www.site.com/rss URL.

 

One of the enemies of RSS, are Paywalls.

Another one is "social" media.

I was not thinking this as a traditional website feed, mainly. Buit standard to use in our apps to pass messages/info. 

Like your homepage to your app, to pass known bugs, new features etc...  As far as I know Wordpress has rss-feed polugin, maybe some other CMS also has. And then you could start to publish something on your website and get the feed to your app.
