The feed is more or less done.
http://static.scripting.com/hackernews/rss.xml http://static.scripting.com/hackernews/rss.xml
Each item points to the article being linked to from the HN entry. The <comments> link points to the HN discussion page.
The feed is realtime, it has a functional <cloud> element, and the notification server works (at least for now, knock wood, praise Murphy).

I am following it in http://daveriver.scripting.com/ http://daveriver.scripting.com/. It's a lot of news, but I like having it there. You're welcome to poll it, but please no more often than once a minute. It only updates at most once a minute, so there's no point in polling more frequently.
- davewiner 16y agoOne thing that remains to be done is figuring out how the encoding works. Not sure if the funny characters are coming from: YC, the API service I'm using (http://api.ihackernews.com/new http://api.ihackernews.com/new) or JSON, but there are some funny encodings that show up. The feed is usable but looks dorky sometimes.
- ronnier 16y agoI'll take a look on my end.
- davewiner 16y agoI just added code to filter special character sequences. As I encounter special characters in the JSON, I'll just change them to more innocuous characters. Like turning a curly single quote, which is communicated by this triplet: ’ into a straight single quote.
- davewiner 16y agoThe filter seems to work! :-)
- LiveTheDream 16y agoThis is actually the first time I've heard about rss cloud, though apparently rss cloud has been around for ages. Is there any particular reason you went with this over PubSubHubbub?

- BarkMore 16y agoThere are a number of issues with the RSS Cloud. There are proposals to fix RSS Cloud (see discussion here http://rsscloud.org/walkthrough/openDiscussion.html http://rsscloud.org/walkthrough/openDiscussion.html), but there is not yet a new specification incorporating these changes.
