RSS feed

Open btrask opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

A blog platform should provide RSS feeds.

It wouldn't be that hard and we could support dynamic feeds based on queries.

Made some progress on this.

A major issue is that we don't assume files have names/titles or descriptions, which makes an RSS feed hard to usefully populate. I can add some more fields to my sln-extract-metadata script, but we need some sort of fallback.

The plan is to send the file previews generated by the blog, but we need to 1. generate our own previews for files that don't have them, and 2. add escaping for XML CDATA output.

On the upside, the dynamic queries work well and are very slick.

Right now the end-point is /feed.xml but maybe just /feed would be nicer. Or /rss?
