RSS Feed Generator

[!NOTE] Read the blog post about this repo: No RSS Feed? No Problem. Using Claude to automate RSS feeds.

tl;dr Available RSS Feeds

Enabled scraped feeds are generated hourly. "Official RSS" rows point to native feeds the blog now publishes directly. Feeds marked "updates paused" retain their last published XML but do not receive new articles.

The combined OpenAI feed includes every category in the official News RSS plus the separate Developer Blog. Existing OpenAI research, engineering, and developer feed URLs remain available and continue updating.

Planned

What is this?

You know that blog you like that doesn't have an RSS feed and might never will?

🙌 You can use this repo to create a RSS feed for it! 🙌

Quick Start

Subscribe to a Feed

• Go to the feeds directory.

• Find the feed you want to subscribe to.

• Use the raw link for your RSS reader. Example:

    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Olshansk/rss-feeds/main/feeds/feed_ollama.xml
  

• Use your RSS reader of choice to subscribe to the feed (e.g., Blogtrottr).

Request a new Feed

Want me to create a feed for you?

Open a GitHub issue and include the blog URL.

If I do, consider supporting my 🌟🧋 addiction by buying me a coffee.

Create a new a Feed

1. Download the HTML of the blog you want to create a feed for.
2. Open Claude Code CLI
3. Tell claude to:

Use /cmd-rss-feed-generator to convert @<html_file>.html to a RSS feed for <blog_url>.

Star History

Ideas

• X RSS Feed: Going to x.com/{USER}/index.xml should give an RSS feed of the user's tweets.
