| Then it's not a missing protocol. The protocol is RSS. They want some specific app that is doing a thing with RSS. |

| Protocols are normally built on top of other protocols. RSS could be the transport for "let me know." (Though my recommendation would be ActivityPub, XMPP, or email.) Whether that is a protocol or an application running over a protocol is semantics, either interpretation is valid. |

| ▲ | deathanatos 7 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Any bog standard RSS app should work here. RSS, literally and with no modifications, solves the use-case outlined in the article. The URL is just a specific one-shot feed, and TFA's request is just a request for such a convention of one-shot feeds. |
