Add a feed?

Hi! I am the editor of Haskell Weekly. I would like to be notified when you publish a new post, but as far as I can tell your site does not have a feed. Would you mind adding an Atom or RSS feed? Thanks!

Hi Taylor (I know who you are 😜), thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately I couldn't help myself and basically implemented a blogging engine with shake and pandoc. This means the build process for the blog is pretty awesome now 😁, but it's not easy to add an Atom feed as I'll have to implement a lot of it myself 😅. It's definitely on the Roadmap, however! Until then, you can sign up for our newsletter instead (at the bottom of https://www.feram.io). Sorry for the inconvenience!

No problem! I understand completely. Haskell Weekly itself has a bespoke blogging engine. Fortunately rendering Atom or RSS feeds isn't too complicated. Feel free to use my code as an example! https://github.com/haskellweekly/haskellweekly.github.io/blob/1018f6e655c377d2e4a0ccca689994945e457896/executables/haskell-weekly.hs#L259

Wow, cool, you even went one step further and only included cmark as external dependency. I'll definitely check out the code, thanks!

Yup, I got tired of waiting up to an hour for a bunch of dependencies to build. My needs were simple, so I felt justified building yet another static site generator 😆 https://github.com/haskellweekly/haskellweekly.github.io/pull/84

Haha, I know what you mean. This blog takes 45 mins to build (cold). I haven't yet had the time to figure out how to cache it on Travis CI, so currently I'm building locally and publish by committing the HTML 😂😅. (Or just pushing and waiting the time if it's not crucial …)
