According to Google Trends, during the past few years, there has been nothing but a few minor bumps that faded away as quickly as they came. I love RSS because i do not have to scroll through dozens of different news sites all day and i would love it to return.

EDIT: Typical case of people only reading the headline. I was asking why people are hyped over something that did NOT happen.

I love RSS too, but gradually drifted away from it over the years. After the Reddit emigration I started getting back into it, and just published a super basic TUI feed reader if anyone is interested.

It's called moccasin

    What are the compelling features compared to e.g. newsboat?

    I dunno, probably very few. I wrote it myself in a week. From a quick glance, Newsboat does not support "open in browser" outside of Linux, and is unconfirmed to even run on Windows. We do. Mocassin's interface also seems to be better suited to large screens and at-a-glance reading. Other than that they are years ahead.
