[Feature request] RSS feeds for everything
It would be nice if itch.io exported RSS feeds for things like an individual publisher's activity, game tags, collections and so on. That would allow potential buyers to keep up with the news without having to be members of the service. Thank you very much.
+1, but I think we need to take a different approach to this request. Instead of a big open ended request like 'RSS all the Things!', lets make a smaller request for the individual feeds we would like see. @felixplesoianu, mind changing the title to something like [Feature request] more RSS feeds.
Requested feeds:
- individual publisher's activity
- game tags
- collections
- community
While I am a member, I prefer RSS as I can keep track of all of my various interests in one place that is not social media.
I came to log an issue for this and found this one exists, so adding my vote for RSS feeds here. I'm particularly looking for an RSS feed of the games that I publish, or even a global one of all my activity.
After I commented, I just discovered this: https://itch.io/games/newest/by-username.xml - change the URL slugs and username to get the feed of what you want.

@felixp7, not RSS. Rather, Atom. It's identical except that unlike RSS, which was never standardized, Atom is the IETF standard for the XML that RSS uses. It's compatible with RSS, since RSS isn't... a standard.
+1 I would really like this. I want to be able to get an Atom feed URL for each checkbox in: https://itch.io/user/settings/email-notifications
I am interested in nearly all of these notifications; however, I need my email inbox reserved for things that need immediate attention. An Atom feed allows me to review non-urgent information whenever I have available time to do so, and avoids clogging my inbox.
For 'private' information, I like Reddit's implementation:
- each user gets a randomly generated secret (no authentication) feed for each category
- changing your password regenerates all feeds
Even though https://itch.io/games/newest/by-username.xml exists, I can’t seem to actually subscribe to it in Feedly or FreshRSS. It seems that maybe Cloudflare is blocking these clients?
