A blog on your own server with an RSS feed is more than enough
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoWith the (text) sources in Git so they can be easily archived, distributed and indexed for the future. I've fired up and taken down multiple attempts at blogging, I don't know if anything I've written was worth keeping but still, the information is lost.
- hardwaresofton 6y agoTrue -- but I wonder if Github would be willing to do the "on your own server" bit -- they already let you host Github Pages for free, and you can bring your own RSS support.
- _emacsomancer_ 6y agoCertainly you can have RSS-enabled blogs of Github or Gitlab. I think Netlify (also free for a single-user instance) makes it a bit easier, but isn't strictly necessary.
- hardwaresofton 6y agoSo I can say I've personally never read the RSS spec, but all you need is a functioning feed.xml/index.xml right? I use Hugo[0] for my statically hosted site[1] and I honestly have never even thought about it (which address is the RSS feed) much until now. I think this battle could be won in the tooling -- if all/most of the static website tools that you'd use support RSS, you can expect that it will show up (Hugo, Gatsby, VuePress, etc).
