Subscribe to RSS feeds

Follow Mato's changelog and blog through RSS. Add the feeds to your preferred reader and get updates as they publish.

4 min read

Mato publishes two RSS feeds: one for the changelog and one for the blog. Both are standard RSS 2.0, compatible with any feed reader. You can subscribe from the changelog or blog page directly, or paste the feed URL into your reader of choice.

Available feeds

Mato has two feeds, each covering a different type of content.

Changelog feed

URL: heymato.com/changelog/feed.xml

The changelog feed includes every product update published to the Mato changelog. When the team ships a new feature, improvement, or fix, it appears here. The feed holds recent entries, sorted newest first.

Blog feed

URL: heymato.com/blog/feed.xml

The blog feed includes all published posts from the Mato blog. Articles cover AI podcasting, live interviews, content strategy, and platform updates. Like the changelog feed, it holds recent entries sorted by publish date.

Both feeds update within an hour of a new entry going live. The server caches each feed for one hour and serves stale content for up to 24 hours while it rebuilds in the background.

Subscribe from the changelog or blog page

Each page has a Subscribe to RSS button near the top. On the changelog page, the button sits below the page subtitle. On the blog page, it sits below the hero text.

Click the button. Your browser will either open the raw XML or prompt you to choose a feed reader, depending on your setup. If it opens as XML, copy the URL from the address bar and paste it into your reader.

Add a feed to a reader

Copy the feed URL and paste it into the "Add feed" or "Add subscription" field in your reader. Here is the process for a few popular options.

Feedly

  1. Open feedly.com and sign in.
  2. Click Follow Websites in the left sidebar (or the + button).
  3. Paste https://heymato.com/changelog/feed.xml or https://heymato.com/blog/feed.xml into the search bar.
  4. Select the feed from the results and click Follow.

Inoreader

  1. Open inoreader.com and sign in.
  2. Click the + icon in the sidebar, then Feeds.
  3. Paste the feed URL and click Subscribe.

NetNewsWire (macOS / iOS)

  1. Open NetNewsWire.
  2. Go to File > New Web Feed (or press Cmd+N).
  3. Paste the feed URL and pick a folder. Click Add.

Outlook or Thunderbird

  1. In the sidebar or folder pane, right-click RSS Feeds (or News Feeds in Thunderbird).
  2. Select Add a New RSS Feed (Outlook) or Subscribe (Thunderbird).
  3. Paste the feed URL and confirm.

The same approach works for any reader that supports RSS 2.0: paste the URL and subscribe.

Feed format and contents

Both feeds follow the RSS 2.0 specification with Atom self-link extensions. Each feed document contains a <channel> element with the following metadata:

  • title: "Mato — Changelog" or "Mato — Blog"
  • link: the changelog or blog page URL
  • description: a short summary of the feed's purpose
  • language: en
  • lastBuildDate: the time the feed was last generated (RFC 822 format)
  • generator: Mato
  • atom:link: a self-referencing URL pointing back to the feed

Each <item> in the feed contains:

  • title: the entry or post title
  • link: the full URL of the entry
  • guid: same as the link, marked as a permalink
  • pubDate: the publish date in RFC 822 format (e.g., Tue, 05 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT)
  • description: a short summary of the entry
  • category: one element per category assigned to the entry (blog posts may have multiple; changelog entries may have none)

Auto-discovery

Both the changelog and blog pages include an RSS auto-discovery tag in their HTML <head>. Browsers and feed readers that support auto-discovery will detect the feed automatically when you visit the page.

The tag looks like this in the page source:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="/changelog/feed.xml" />

If your reader has a "detect feeds" or "find feeds on page" feature, pointing it at https://heymato.com/changelog or https://heymato.com/blog should find the feed without you needing to enter the URL manually.

Troubleshooting

My reader shows no entries. The feed only includes published content. If no entries have been published yet, the feed will be valid but empty.

The feed looks like raw code in my browser. Browsers display XML as raw text by default. Copy the URL from the address bar and paste it into your feed reader instead. Some browsers (like Firefox) render a styled preview, but most show the raw XML.

Entries are delayed. The feed is cached and regenerates roughly once per hour. A new entry may take up to 60 minutes to appear in the feed after it goes live on the site.
