RSS feed for news #56

Open andoruB opened 6 years ago

andoruB commented 6 years ago

I would like to request adding a RSS feed for the development news. It would be nice to be able to track with an RSS aggregator what new stuff has been implemented in this wonderful torrent client.

There are sites to generate this, but the problem is that the News are not enclosed with tags. A simple

tag would do, maybe call it

or whatever.

@Chocobo1 sorry for tagging you like this, just not sure if anyone is working on the site. Should I just try to write an rss.php or something like that and tags for news? (As pull request?)

Yeah, I've no idea what it would be like, hope it is not too intrusive.

And I'm not sure what OP is asking, RSS for development? there is already: https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/commits/master.atom

RSS for release news? Then something needs to be done... Or we can just copy release notes from our website to Github releases and get RSS at https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/releases.atom

This. I incorrectly worded my initial post.

In the meantime, I'll use the provided atom link, thanks! EDIT: Doesn't include the list of added features to each version, bummer!

lol rip. thank you Chocobo and sorry for tagging you / wasting your time.

@sledgehammer999 What do you think about my suggestion, this would be the simplest way:

Or we can just copy release notes from our website to Github releases and get RSS at https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/releases.atom

Or... the news are in markdown format, so theoretically it shouldn't be hard to transform to RSS feed.

thank you Chocobo and sorry for tagging you / wasting your time.

Not a problem.

Balls0fSteel commented 6 years ago

I will just use the Github feeds you linked for the Discord bot. (Just to have a real time news feed in a few channels there.) Yeah I know devs are not really Discord folks, but regular users also love to follow development.)

I would prefer, to transform our current news page to a RSS feed. I don't know if that is feasible though. There's no point in converting already posted news. At least not the really old ones. This gives the ability to change(again) the format the news are posted by me in the backend. Now it is in the markdown syntax and follows a specific formatting of the news. Maybe some simple script on our backend that:

  1. Reads/parses news.md
  2. For every markdown title in news.md it makes an RSS article. Maybe parse the title to give a date to the article. (It might need to change the format I right the date)
  3. The body of each announcement should be part of the article body.
  4. Somehow make the titles linkable (put an anchor?) so the RSS can link to them.
  5. Does all the above, creates the feed and serves it to the user.

As I said, I don't know if that is feasilbe. Or if it needs a lot of work to implement. But I am open to change the way/format I input the news into the site.

There is an 11ty plugin for RSS, though Atom is preferable.

Please inform me when you do, so I add qbittorrent.org either to the featured feeds of Slixfeed or to the feeds database or both.

I would recommend to reopen the forum topic News and add it as autodiscovery feed as suggested at #226. A link with a syndication feed icon would be also good in addition to the proposition.
