Atom/RSS feed #104

Open rektide opened 7 years ago

rektide commented 7 years ago

Heyya. Lovely site. It'd be great to get an Atom or RSS feed of these. I'm not great at remembering to visit individual sites, but if there was a feed I know I could keep fresh with the slick demos on dwitter.

An RSS feed is a good idea. Currently I'm personally using followthatpage.com, pointing it to dwitter.net/new . Used to be a few dweets a week so it was a great way to stay up to date

I created PR #440 to demonstrate how an RSS feed could be added.

My biggest question is, what should the RSS feed attributes be?

I set title to "'Dweet ID #' + item.id + ' by ' + item.author.username" and the description to the code from the Dweet.

What do y'all think?

Thanks for the proof of concept! It looks reasonable and I'd be happy to work with you to get it fully functioning and integrated.

I would imagine the actual code is hard to make sense of in an rss fees, so including the first comment/title might make more sense. Similar to how the page title is set on direct links to dweets. ( maybe append code afterwards )

In the same vein changing the title to put the username first since that is more interesting than the ID. Something like "u/lionleaf posted new dweet d/1337 "

Another question to think about is whether we want a different feed than /new for people who are interested in dwitter but not obsessed, maybe a weekly or daily top dweet or something like that?

What do you think?

PS: I'm not an avid RSS user, so I'd be interested in understanding who would like this feature and what you guys think about how it should work.
