If this post gets the attention of site mods, I have some requests for the RSS feed:
It would be nice if some pages had meta tags for special RSS feeds: user pages should advertise an RSS feed with the appropriate userId, front page should include view=frontpage, shortform front page should include the shortform feed, etc. I’m planning to inject these automatically with my RSS feeder and this issue has a list of ideas.
The RSS feed currently injects a “Published at …” line at the start of every entry, which is unnecessary since the entries already have dates. My RSS reader filters these out but it would be nice if it wasn’t injected at all. On a more minor note, it would look nicer if the injected comment link was surrounded with <p> instead of <br><br>.
RSS feeds can include both a summary and full content, and it would be nice if the summary was the social share summary, since some users specifically curate this. To do that, you would put the social blub in <description> and the full content in <content:encoded>. Most feed readers will ignore this and just use the full content but for the small number of readers that check it will be a slightly nicer experience.
