The boilerplate needed, the first metadata title, link, description and the many additional optional values.
Dates in RSS conform to RFC 882
Each RSS feed has items. Each feed can contain the entire content, unabridged, or a summary of the content and that it should be read on the site.
Atom is XML-based but is a little bit stricter and more finely specced than RSS.
JSON feed is the newest format discussed around. It has similarly.
RSS can be auto-discovered with the link tag in HTML.
Gotchas:
- use absolute URLs for media in the RSS feed. RSS Readers can be disconnected from the origianl domain.
- escape HTML entities in XML or use CDATA wrappers.
- Web-based RSS readers have CORS rules to follow. Setting an
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *is mandatory header on your XML/JSON files ensures these web-based clients don’t get blocked by security policies. - the readers have limited display
- validation via the W3C Feed Validation Service or the JSON Feed Validator.
Read the RSS 2.0 Specification, the Introduction to Atom, the RFC 4287: The atom syndication format or the JSON feed version 1.1 Explainer.
Calm the feeds

Make RSS from multiple sources that does not support them.
That's another way to generate RSS feeds from a source of content.
The project: https://crates.io/crates/mdbook-rss-feed
RSS feeds for arbitrary websites, using CSS selectors.
So the project generates RSS feeds and populate items in it from CSS selectors. It can definitely be useful.
Many feeds here for one website
RSS feeds can be broken because of
- expired SSL certificates
- timeouts caused by slow servers
- misconfigured firewalls
- servers going down
- change feed URLs
- feed parsing failures
- deleted feeds
- deleted websites
Fraidycat is an app for Linux, Windows or Mac OS X - but which can be accessed from a local browser or a Tor onion site - and is a tool that can be used to follow folks on a variety of platforms. But rather than showing you a traditional 'inbox' or 'feed' view of all the incoming posts - Fraidycat braces itself against this unbridled firehose! - you are shown an overview of who is active and a brief summary of their activity.
Is it maintained?
3 feeds:
- no feed: a couple of static pages about the organization. They are great as a source of truth, for timeless content and for diving deep into a topic.
- slow feed: a blog, newsletter or magazine for medium to long form content. . They tend to be medium or long form content and allow deeper thought processes. Slow feeds only try to get our attention occasionally.
- fast feed: a page with smaller more frequent content pieces, that people can refresh, come back to or even subscribe via RSS or activity pub. Fast feeds are a powerful force that tends to pull people in.
I also tried a Client Side Reader and got into the same issue: CORS blocks requests for other websites.
I now build my personalized feed as a part of this blog’s build process
The author got it working at https://matklad.github.io/blogroll.html; and mark the most important one on https://matklad.github.io/links.html
It is kept simple.
Having a public blogroll also means the followed blogs get page rank back!
Instead of an OPML file, the author use a list of links. https://github.com/matklad/matklad.github.io/blob/ea7bc5161d7b2bc12a7a004408caaefb509b9f92/content/blogroll.txt
The code used is a snippet.
Links in RSS works. So we can use RSS for more than "following new content".
