I hand-rolled an atom feed for my statically generated blog. It’s a reasonable, easy format to work with.

First iteration of Google's APIs were atom. I do miss XML.

One of the API providers I use at work returns responses in XML and we use an XML parser to parse it to JSON and even then it's not perfect.
What do you like about XML? I feel like I'm missing something.

No, this is just old.
Pity though. RSS / Atom was a fantastic concept and it’s a real pity big tech killed them off.

Nothing is killed. It still exists, it's an open protocol after all. And I choose to use it, it's pretty fun to calmly follow around 2000 feeds from - mostly - blogs from HN. And cars... I need my car blogs.

Agreed. That nowadays people or even big companies find it outside their core competency to host their blog, have atom/RSS feeds is not because big tech killing it.

Meh. Big tech didnt kill it off, it was already dead at that point. Sometimes things just arent popular no matter how much we might want it to be.
