Add RSS feed to the Blog page

[darkred]

I believe it would be useful to have RSS feed for the Blog page https://violentmonkey.github.io/posts/ . The posts there are few but all very useful and important, must-read.

If it helps, this guide says you can just:

• add the GitHub pages plugin jekyll-feed to the plugins array in the _config.yml file
• add this line in the head of the HTML file: <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Violentmonkey’s blog" href="/feed.xml">
• finally, make a link to the feed that is accessible from the page, like this: <a class="btn btn-rss" href="/feed.xml" target="_blank">RSS</a>

I thought RSS was used to track updates so it seems useless to provide RSS for posts that are rarely updated.

It only makes sense to me if you are using RSS to keep a list of posts as what bookmarks do. If that's the case, I think we have better choices. Power users who are interested in implementation details can easily find the site of Violentmonkey in the popup and read the posts, and other users may not be interested in them.

Closing since it's not really useful. Feel free to reopen if you have more ideas.

First of all, thank you for responding.

I use RSS reader (QuiteRSS) in order to easily get updates of multiple sites, lots of them. I keep it running constantly, and so I never miss updates, regardless of how frequent or rare they are made. In our case, the blog posts, only 4, are rarely updated, three dated in '17 and the other in '18.

I agree that a power user can indeed discover almost all blog posts right in the extension's pages: from the 4 blog posts. there are two post links in VM's settings(and expanding the Advanced section), and one post link in the New script(editor) page.

On the other hand, the popup links to the the main page https://violentmonkey.github.io/ , but the blog post titles are not displayed in it, and so, if someone misses the Blog link (located in the far top right corner, easy to miss, I think), he will probably miss the posts.

To summarize, ideally for me would be to add the titles of the posts to the main page + add RSS feed. I would be glad though if you could just add the titles to the main page.
