Why RSS?

RSS is the quiet way the open web still works. It's a small file every blog publishes that lists its recent posts. You point a reader at it once, and from then on new writing arrives in your reader the way new mail arrives in your inbox — in chronological order, without an algorithm deciding what you should care about today.

Why it matters

• You own the stream. No platform sits between you and the writers you've chosen.
• No ranking, no ads, no nudges. Posts arrive in the order they were written.
• Nothing tracks you. Your reader fetches a public file. The publisher doesn't know who's subscribed.
• It's durable. RSS has worked the same way for over twenty years. The blog you subscribe to today will still reach you the same way in 2030.
