If many of you use open source software that isn't bundled in a package repo or using a corporate OS, sometimes being informed of a new release of your favorite program is a hassle. However, most software forges do have a way to access the Releases feed.

Today, we look at GitHub's Release Feed. GitHub uses the Atom feed format for its release pages and the Releases page itself generates the feed. The best way to access it is going to the Releases page for a project you follow. Copy the URL from your browser and drop it into your feedreader. Attach '.atom' to the end of the URL and save.

For example, for the mobile RSS reeder ReadYou, the URL looks like https://github.com/ReadYouApp/ReadYou/releases.atom

Now you are subscribed to the Releases Feed of your favorite software project in a central place.

OverClocked ReMix (OCReMix) has been a staple of the nerd remixing community for ages, providing fresh takes to popular video game music. For years, they keep a running RSS with the latest ten tracks they approve and post.

This extension shows a list of feeds if said feeds are listed in the HTML available to the browser, but not known to users.

A Way With Words is a public radio show and podcast focused on English Etymology. The two hosts provide their insight on words given to them by listeners of the show.

Standard Ebooks is a group that is dedicated to providing an off-the-shelf experience for books in the public domain. Taking Project Gutenberg releases, they apply a strict style guide, which includes a professional looking cover, typographic choices, and other options that make it stand out from the basic work done by PG, and then put the book available on their website, free for the public to download. Their public RSS feed is a list of the latest releases they have finalized and put online.

YourClassical is a service of Minnesota Public Radio, offering a variety of classical music internet radio streams for all who enjoy the style of music, ranging from the classical big orchestral pieces, epic cinematic masterpieces, classical guitar pieces, choral music, all the way to soft serenades for that moment when you are about to doze off.

Among many of their podcasts, they offer a Daily Download during the weekdays, allowing you to build your library from their selection.

Nintendo's RSS feeds across regions

Thanks to a comment in the Datahoarder community, I learned the UK site has a #RSS feed, so curious, I tried to dig if other regions also have.

First, the sites from #Nintendo I found that do have #RSSfeeds:

• Austria (German): https://www.nintendo.com/de-at/news.xml
• Belgium (Dutch): https://www.nintendo.com/nl-be/news.xml
• Belgium (French): https://www.nintendo.com/fr-be/news.xml
• France: https://www.nintendo.com/fr-fr/news.xml
• Germany: https://www.nintendo.com/de-de/news.xml
• Italy: https://www.nintendo.com/it-it/news.xml
• Japan: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/news/whatsnew.xml
• Netherlands: https://www.nintendo.com/nl-nl/news.xml
• Portugal: https://www.nintendo.com/pt-pt/news.xml
• Spain: https://www.nintendo.com/es-es/news.xml
• Switzerland (French): https://www.nintendo.com/fr-ch/news.xml
• Switzerland (German): https://www.nintendo.com/de-ch/news.xml
• Switzerland (Italian): https://www.nintendo.com/it-ch/news.xml

And also UK from the comment:

• https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/news.xml

Also found an old article on the Wayback Machine mentioning a feed for the US site, the latest working snapshot being from 2007, but the links mentioned have since been discontinued:

• https://web.archive.org/web/20071022050835/http://www.nintendo.com/rssinfo

None of the other regional variants seem to have feeds, though.

Also I think I'll have to create a new group in the list of feeds I know. That's more variants than Steam's. 🥲

LRG store Atom feeds

#LRG #Atom #RSSfeeds

All of their https://limitedrungames.com/collections/* pages (* being a wildcard), the subsections of their catalogues, have these feeds, though only for the base links, not for when they have feeds applied, so clear these beforehand.

Appending .atom at the end, for example:

• This doesn't work
• This does

Adding to the feeds I know of next.

Small update about Ci-en's RSS feeds: indeed discontinued and not being reinstated at least at this time

I had asked them through the #Cien Help page if they would, and they both confirmed in the response email that their #RSSfeeds had indeed been discontinued and that they would forward to the relevant department for considering for their future planning.

Additionally, I'd attach the whole email but from a quick search, apparently Japanese copyright laws can be so bad even support emails fall under it, even if one was to use it for journalistic purposes. 🙂

Kickstarter has Atom feeds for project updates!

Noticed by the notification of RSSHub Radar and will be adding to the feeds list I keep, but mentioning so it's a bit easier for others to find...

#Kickstarter #RSSfeeds #RSS #Atom

You pick a project, e.g. Mariachi Legends, and add /posts.atom at the end, or click the updates tab (even if you're at the tab already) and add .atom at the end, in either cases becoming https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/halberdstudios/mariachi-legends-a-combat-oriented-metroidvania/posts.atom.

RSS Parrot appears to be down for a few days now

https://codeberg.org/gugray/rss-parrot/issues/87

#RSS #rssfeeds #RSSParrot

GBAtemp's RSS feeds seem to push posts whenever they get new replies

Testing around with the forum's multiple #rssfeeds, I couldn't help but to notice how older posts, and even a same post multiple times, would appear as I opened posts en masse from newer to older.

After investigating these posts as they popped up, the dates of the newest comments were all within the time frames of the posts I'd been opening with my reader. So as mentioned in the title, it would seem the feeds are picking posts by the ones most recently commented on.

Could be a bit spammy if one's just looking for new posts, but if interested also in following discussions of the posts, it could turn useful instead. Though for that use, RSS per post similar to NodeBB would be better imo.

"RSS愛好会" ("RSS Fanclub"), a RSS bridge for sites without RSS, to stop providing RSS for Reuters

#reuters #rss

From a quick machine translation:
"Reuters has strengthened its anti-bot measures, making it difficult for crawlers to retrieve articles. Therefore, we will be discontinuing our feed distribution. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

Ci-en, DLsite's blog for creators, appears to have removed RSS feeds

Checking some creators on #DLsite's #Cien, I noticed RSShub Radar wasn't picking their #rssfeeds any longer. And investigating, there seem to be no mentions of RSS feeds on view-source:, and also links I know that worked previously no longer seem to work, throwing a 404 error instead.

The site is pretty simple so Ublock Origin and Violentmonkey can easily be used to hide posts, lowering the dependence on accessing there all the time and the potential addiction for doing so. But if it was a deliberated change and not just some sort of accident, for the sake of privacy, having an unified local feed controlled and curated by yourself, and gauging how bloated your online life is, it's a shame another site went the walled garden way.

Do you have a blog or update list or you post articles on different pages, and you customized your template instead of using those Django, Nunjucks or whatever, and would like to have RSS feed auto generated compatible with the mess of HTML you created?

This is a simple script for you to copy to your local folder and run and create an Atom Feed for your site, and it should be easy enough for any webmaster to use. All you have to do is fill 6 fields: Your feed title, your site url, the url of your blog/news/updates/whatever-you-want-to-create-a-feed-for, the element that wraps your entries, the element that wraps your entry titles, the element that wraps your entry dates.

Maybe you just have one page with your blog, but maybe you have a page for a journal, another for a microblog, another for your media consumption, and on your index and you have a div with updates you done in the site and also different pages for articles you wrote, you can list all of them... is each using different elements for entries? Not a problem, you can target all of them and the script will look for matches.

RPG Maker's new dedicated forum appears to have RSS feeds

Title, and tangential to: https://thebrainbin.org/m/[email protected]/t/1752486

The forum behaves a bit weird, so make sure to reload the page once or twice if using RSShub Radar so it can find the feeds.

What are your favourite rss tools?

GoComics: seeking to be a dependence machine, to have the users' behavioral data, both, or something else?

Going by another post, they even sent a C&D letter to some tool that bridged their posts to RSS.

I'd like to subscribe to Heathcliff, but the RSS feed I found said they got cease and desisted by Go Comics, which doesn't offer their own RSS as far as I can tell. I just want to read the funny orange cat comics.
