## Description

Microformats Reader brings the Indieweb to the surface!

Currently supported data:
- <code>rel</code> links: Webmention endpoints, RSS/Atom feeds, public keys, search, alternate.

However, you may find that some sites use non-standard tags, or use tags in non-standard ways. These may not be displayed at all, or you may be able to view their raw data as JSON objects. If you find cases which you think should be supported please open an issue and I will try and include them.
