RSS feed for react.dev/blog

RSS is still a thing. The old one (reactjs.org) had an RSS feed and it was very convenient.

Bump! I would like to keep up with the latest news and hopefully newly published pages on the "Learn" page. I think the arch wiki does something similar

[jussi-collabodoc]

I'm also missing the RSS feed!

[talovski]

Or add a newsletter at least. Right now the only way to keep up to date is to use Twitter, which is not ideal.

Any luck on an RSS feed? Any hacks or workarounds?

I built a scraper that generates an RSS feed based on CSS selectors for the titles and links for cases like this. As a temporary workaround until an official RSS feed exists, here's a scraped feed for the React blog: https://rss-scraper.deno.dev/feed.xml?url=https%3A%2F%2Freact.dev%2Fblog&itemSelector=a&titleSelector=h2

Nice work @canac! That app is really awesome!

@MitchTalmadge RSS autodiscovery is for some time under /blog path.

We use RSS Slack app which push news to our Slack channel. So yeah, it's still a thing!

@MitchTalmadge RSS autodiscovery is for some time under /blog path.

What do you mean by that @kuchta?

@MitchTalmadge That it's linked on the page react.dev/blob, not on react.dev homepage if that was the reason you had no luck.

[DamienCassou]

@kuchta I can't find any RSS/atom feed in /blog. My RSS reader also doesn't find anything.

[kuchta]

@MitchTalmadge @DamienCassou Well, you are right. It seems my RSS reader (Feedly) automatically found third party feed: https://rss-scraper.deno.dev/feed.xml?url=https%3A%2F%2Freact.dev%2Fblog&itemSelector=a&titleSelector=h2

[rickhanlonii]

Sorry for the delay, new RSS Feed is available here: https://react.dev/rss.xml

[kuchta]

@rickhanlonii Thank you Ricky ❤️ Could you please also link it to home and /blog page so that readers could auto-discover it? 🙏🏻

[rickhanlonii]

Sorry can you be more specific? ELI5

[LasseRosenow]

I think they mean this:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="React RSS Feed" href="https://react.dev/rss.xml" />

If this tag is available on the header at react.dev and react.dev/blog Then RSS Readers will automatically find the RSS feed otherwise hidden behind react.dev/rss.xml. For example in my case I was only able to add this feed because I know the exact address thanks to this issue.

[rickhanlonii]

Ah ok, fixed in https://github.com/reactjs/react.dev/pull/6805

[LasseRosenow]

Thank you very much, I can confirm it works :)
