It would be nice to have RSS feeds for each board, with each board having its own feed, at, for example https://8chan.co/meta/index.rss or https://8chan.co/yourboard/index.rss

What would the feeds give you? Thread snippets? posts?

4cdn commented 9 years ago

A created thread would get a post on the feed as soon as it is created, showing the title, and maybe up to the first 40 words of the OP.

so similar to the catalog API? https://8chan.co/meta/catalog.json

4chan has this

+1, this would be a nice feature.

Note that non-ASCII characters should be replaced with HTML character codes. The RSS feed for 4-ch's /ascii/ doesn't do this, and my RSS reader always spews errors like "encoding error : input conversion failed due to input error, bytes 0x87 0x98 0x2D 0x81"

you can implement RSS as a theme. see templates/themes/ directory.
