@jlelse @kevI wrote my own podcast rss feed generator a while back because I needed a clean, simple website for the podcast that automatically generated a feed and couldn't find any good options out there.RSS is such a simple technology that brings so much utility that I'm surprised it's so rare these days.

@jeffalyanak I think it’s a myth that it’s rare. There are probably more RSS feeds than ever thanks to Wordpress and podcast creators. It’s hard to measure how many people subscribe to a feed because most people use an aggregator which will pull a feed once and store it internally for all users, so you don’t get individual hits.Even when we think back to when it was popular it wasn’t something your grandma would be using.I’m optimistic about it 🙂@jlelse @kev

@kev It's crazy how many views my blog gets just because this article seems to be popular on Hacker News 😅

@jamie @jlelse @kevRSS is definitely dominant in the podcast world, but outside of the nerd demographic I find a lot of the blogs that I follow don't use RSS.For about half of the non-tech blogs I follow I have to use an RSS feed generator to create a feed for my readers.

@jeffalyanak I perhaps spend too much time in the nerd world🙂. Out of interest, what generator do you use? I’ve used the five filters one with some success, but it can be fiddly. @jlelse @kev

@jamie @jlelse @kev I just wrote my own quick and dirty Python script to do it. I looked into a few of the existing options out there but they seemed over-engineered for my needs.I just wanted something that could run as a cron job and update some feeds.

@kev my feed reader (nextcloud) refuses to add any of your feed options because there's no "modifiedSince parameter".could very well be a bug in the project, or their feedio dependency, or a slightly malformed / non-spec feed from you.

@thurloat feed is valid. It’s a known bug with Nextcloud News.Feed returns valid here https://validator.w3.org/feed/

@kev that doesn't seem to be where it is failing on your feed for me.its some bit of spaghetti between the FeedFetcher and FeedService. The FeedFetcher is returning null instead of the returned feed because the feedservice is autofilling 01-01-1970 and thinks the response isn't modified.Maybe it might be happy if you started returning Last Modified HTTP headers.

@thurloat I’ll take a look tomorrow if I get a chance, but the feed works fine in other feed readers, and the W3 confirms it’s valid too.Will let you know what I find tomorrow.

@thurloat should be fixed now, you may need to clear your cache.If it still doesn’t work, try https://kevq.uk/blog.rss as the url in Nextcloud.
