Add author sub-element to item element in RSS feed(s)

Open cointastical opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

I'ld like to see author of a post appear in the RSS feed(s).

The RSS 2.0 Spec supports an sub-element, which is for an e-mail address.

I know Lightning address isn't an e-mail address, but it follows that format. So author could be <nym>@stacker.news

If using a LN address for an e-mail address is bad (probably is), the spec allows an extension:

A RSS feed may contain elements and attributes not described on this page, only if those elements and attributes are defined in a namespace.`
