+## Converts sfeed(1) files into an Actually Simple Sindication
+## (ASS) file.  See https://tilde.town/~dzwdz/ass/ for details.
+
+## THE SPEC
+
+# An .ass file consists of a bunch of lines. Every line represents an item
+# (e.g. article).
+
+# Every line consists of:
+
+# an ISO-8601 formatted date with dashes the URI of the item (optionally) the
+# title of the item
+
+# Those elements are separated by tabs. Every tab after the URI is treated as
+# part of the title. The order of the lines doesn't matter. Additional
+# whitespace before the date is NOT permitted.
+
+# Lines can also be empty or start with the # character. Those lines are to be
+# ignored by clients. I recommend adding a comment with a link to this page at
+# the top, so people won't get confused about what to do with the file.
+
+# It's very highly recommended to name the file "feed.ass". This will make feed
+# discovery much easier. If you want to get added to the list of known feeds,
+# you MUST name your feed that (the 2 feeds in there are grandfathered in).
