RSS feed to subscribe to new releases of a project

Open julienrf opened this issue 7 years ago • 7 comments

Would be nice to have a way to be notified when a project has new releases. One approach could be to generate an RSS feed for each project, containing its releases.

RSS would be great. There is also a new format called Json Feed that may be a bit easier to implement. Feedbin already supports it.

This is a great idea! The signal-to-noise ratio would also be a lot better than what's proposed in #29.

Though I wonder if there's an even more universally-friendly way than RSS. RSS readers are (unfortunately) on their way out as a way to subscribe to feeds...

Perhaps another idea would be to let people who login click a button to subscribe to a library. Then we could maybe add a job to send out email notifications to individual users once a week or so listing all of the releases for libraries they subscribe to in the last week.

Maybe we could do both. I am still very much addicted to my RSS reader. Maybe this just shows my age. :scream_cat:

It would be nice if this also had an option for getting one-off notifications about new libraries and/or trending libraries. I currently subscribe to https://github.com/lauris/awesome-scala for that purpose but there is talk of archiving it (https://github.com/lauris/awesome-scala/issues/441).
