There are a couple I have in mind. Like many techies, I am a huge fan of RSS for content distribution and XMPP for federated communication.

The really niche one I like is S-expressions as a data format and configuration in place of json, yaml, toml, etc.

I am a big fan of Plaintext formats, although I wish markdown had a few more features like tables.

XMPP, RSS, ...

For RSS I honestly don't see a point, at least for me. What's the use for having update feeds in a unified format when I still have to go to each fucking site to view the full text? I completely see the point of RSS when all I need is in the feed. But I hate going from different UI to different UI to get the full content. I want something like inoreader.com for self-hosting.

Miniflux is likely to tick most of your boxes. It's self hostable and can download the full article without extra clicks / having to visit the source.

Thanks, I'll take a look. These days Inoreader also shows only the summary, making it useless for me.
