Atom/RSS/JSON feed

Problem

I would like to suscribe to a feed containing recently added mods.

Solutions

It would be nice if you could implement some Atom feed for recently added mods.

Steps:

• Create new blueprint at app/blueprints/feed/__init__.py. Note that blueprints are automatically detected, just creating the module is enough.
• Add a route called feed which returns Atom or RSS information on /feed.xml. Build the query and the XML here, I'd prefer it if models.py wasn't modified. Optionally use templates.
• Update app/templates/base.html to have a <link> to /feed.xml. That, or just update index.html.
• Profit

Would it be possible to have seperate feeds for each mod's releases? I'm thinking something like https://content.minetest.net/packages/$USER/$PACKAGE/feed.xml (linked of course).

Ofc I can just split this to be a seperate issue, if you'd prefer.

This is an important feature. What's the priority of this?

[Lazerbeak12345]

It seems like rubenwardy approved it. A PR seems to be what we're waiting for.

I've got some professional experience with Django. I could throw this on my personal developer backlog - but it's not very high priority for me to implement personally so it would take some time.

[Lazerbeak12345]

Do we want RSS, Atom, or both?

EDIT: not sure if it matters anymore, since we'd have to make them from scratch. I thought the app was a Django app (since that'd be a really easy way to make an app like this) but I was mistaken. We won't be able to use the pre-built Django RSS feed tool - so I'd have to pick up this train of thought using a different technique.

I prefer Atom and JSON. I'd like to help with this task. Please tell me what you want me to do.

My workload got much larger at the beginning of the year. I'm not currently working on this.
