FR: allow filtered rss feeds like hnrss

Open thiswillbeyourgithub opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Hi,

I think it would be awesome to be able to filter the frontpage a bit in the rss and would possibly require little changes. Some of the filters would be more complicated like search and would not be appropriate for this project because you're only offering the frontpage but I still think it would be good to allow to filter the frontpage for like points and comments.

Thoughts?

Edit : I'm refering to https://github.com/hnrss/hnrss

First version of this project supports the score filter, that's when I have a database in the backend. But now this website is hosted on GitHub pages, and everything is a pre-generated static file, including the rss feed.xml. So sorry but it's not able to do dynamic filtering now.

But for the website, I think points and comments filtering is doable via javascript. Do you think there are requirements for this feature on the website?

I frankly have no idea

OK, will not implement the javascript filter for now until we have future requirement.

For the rss filter - wait until this project becomes so complicated that I need a database again.
