As 2024 marks the resurgence of RSS and Atom, I decided to update my rudimentary RSS tools from 2007 to make them contemporary and works under Python 3. The release v1.0 marks this step and allow everyone to use and improve the RSS toolset.

As web platforms continue to deteriorate in quality, and with the diminishing visibility across various pseudo-social networks coupled with the decline of RSS culture, the emergence of new open-source, federated networks using ActivityPub (a glorified RSS format) seems particularly timely. I believe that reviving open-source tools developed in 2007 for handling RSS is increasingly relevant. Many of these new federated platforms are revitalizing RSS, which is a trend that deserves encouragement and support.
