jekyll-feed

Depends on how your blog is generated. Static generators like jekyll have plugins for this[1], but it’s also easy enough to generate it by hand with an xml template [2]. Wordpress, substack and other platforms generate it by default afaik. [1] https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-feed [2] This is mine: https://github.com/facundoolano/olano.dev/blob/main/src/feed...

XML feeds are often generated by templating, rather than actual XML serialisation. The official Jekyll Feed plugin has this: https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-feed/blob/master/lib/jekyll... JSON is much more easily generated by a valid generator, and less likely to face serialisation issues.

Awesome. I was able to get this going easily enough on my jekyll-created site that uses the jekyll-feeds plugin. You just have to name the template right and it just works. https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-feed/#custom-styling

It looks like this [1] plugin [2] is supported in jekyll / GitHub pages [3]. So, it seems like adding RSS / Atom feeds on a jekyll or GitHub pages site is pretty straightforward. 1. https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-feed 2. https://docs.github.com/en/pages/setting-up-a-github-pages-s... 3. https://pages.github.com/versions/

I follow many blogs, many of them of individual developers and if you're not on Wordpress or Medium (ugh), then the next common choice is a static website generator like Jekyll or equivalent. Some of them don't have RSS feeds. But I just contact them privately and kindly ask them to add an RSS feed. Most of my requests had positive results, since you just need to integrate a plugin [1] or copy a pre-made atom.xml template, like one of my own [2] but any one will do. Of course you can go down a rabbit whole in optimizing the CSS, like I usually do, until I decide that a freaking summary of those articles is enough in the RSS feed and be done with it. But that's totally optional. And if you're doing it manually, don't forget to add a meta tag in the <head> of all your pages, like: <link rel="alternate" href="/atom.xml" title="Atom feed"

It should be very easy to automate RSS feed generation with any consistently laid out static site (even if it's hand written). If you're using a SSG (I presume most are), there's things like jekyll-feed[0] [0] https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-feed
