hi, thanks for that gist.
does it work fine with atom feeds?
last time I remember you had to convert atom to rss for nnrss to be able to read it.

Hi @grolongo, I don't think it does. But there is currently an initiative to include nnatom backend to the Emacs core. See this ticket.

a patch for nnatom posted not before than yesterday. now that's some interesting timing. :)
