RSS is probably the most underrated tech around. Since leaving basically all social media platforms a little over five years ago, NetNewsWire has been my go-to app for aggregating the sites I want to follow. Yes, 2005 is back with a vengeance!

People (developers, especially) started to hate XML then, RSS and much more so Atom was collateral damage from the ReST/JSON hype that followed. Would happily see a revival.
But, speaking as a dilettante programmer, libraries are so well developed now that it hardly matters what format you use.
