Provide an RSS feed on the Keybase Blog #1982

Open macmanx2 opened 8 years ago

macmanx2 commented 8 years ago

At the moment, there is no official way to subscribe to Keybase news.

https://keybase.io/blog while beautifully simple has no RSS feed for use in syndicated readers, and even https://twitter.com/KeybaseIO makes it known that it's not yet an official account.

As Keybase grows, being able to subscribe to news is crucial, especially in the security realm.

For example, a few months ago, Keybase CLI asked me to make new keys. I panicked and uninstalled it. Today, I saw https://keybase.io/blog/keybase-new-key-model by near accident and now know what that was all about.

We need a way to subscribe to your news so that we know what's happening the moment it happens. Security is a serious enough subject to warrant that. At the moment, our only option is to follow an unofficial Twitter account and hope it doesn't lead us astray or become abandoned.

Claiming the Twitter account as official is certainly one solution, but providing an RSS feed for the official blog would be much better. If you can't provide an RSS feed with what you're using now, might I suggest https://wordpress.org/ ?

might I suggest https://wordpress.org/ ?

please nope. Self-hosting with no third-party stuff doesn't leak any visitor information to other companies.

from the sourcecode of the blog

But using a static site generator it should be easily possible to add an RSS feed :+1:

Yes please

You might be confusing https://wordpress.org/ with https://wordpress.com/ , a common misconception for an obvious reason.

I suggested https://wordpress.org/ because it's self-hosted and open source, with absolutely no tracking unless you choose to install such plugins yourself.

Is this closed for some reason? Will there not be an RSS feed at all?

balupton commented 8 years ago

@offbyone this issue is open, there was an issue that referenced it, which is closed

balupton commented 8 years ago

Would be very nice as I'd like to add the blog to feedly.

Is there a repo for the blog currently? I'd happily PR this.

throughnothing commented 8 years ago

+1,000 to this. I want to follow what you guys are doing, which is really cool stuff, but its really hard when I can't subscribe to updates!

I've been polling the blog using xpath2rss since March. This is the feed, if you feel desperate: https://reader.tribut.de/static/keybase-io.xml

No guarantees, obviously.

Jeraimee commented 8 years ago

👍 for resolution of this issue.

grempe commented 7 years ago

Shouldn't you be publishing the blog as static content available in KBFS?

(with rss/atom feed generated at same time as content)

stephenyeargin commented 7 years ago

Dropping in a suggestion for GitHub Pages or even its underpinning, Jekyll. Given the current blog has seven entries, I don't think you need anything more complex than that. 😄

virtadpt commented 7 years ago

For the time being, I've pieced this together: https://feed43.com/2538022243138888.xml

MarkWieczorek commented 4 years ago

This issue is still open? Come up. Just make an RSS feed for the blog.
