What does HackerNews think of jekyll-feed?

Awesome. I was able to get this going easily enough on my jekyll-created site that uses the jekyll-feeds plugin. You just have to name the template right and it just works.

I follow many blogs, many of them of individual developers and if you're not on Wordpress or Medium (ugh), then the next common choice is a static website generator like Jekyll or equivalent.

Some of them don't have RSS feeds.

But I just contact them privately and kindly ask them to add an RSS feed.

Most of my requests had positive results, since you just need to integrate a plugin [1] or copy a pre-made atom.xml template, like one of my own [2] but any one will do.

Of course you can go down a rabbit whole in optimizing the CSS, like I usually do, until I decide that a freaking summary of those articles is enough in the RSS feed and be done with it. But that's totally optional.

And if you're doing it manually, don't forget to add a meta tag in the

of all your pages, like:
