The sad truth is, nobody bothers to add support for RSS if they write a new custom blog engine. I've started to keep a list of all the websites that I've tried to subscribe but didn't support RSS: https://angel.co/blog https://blog.close.com https://blog.messagebird.com https://blog.twitter.com/developer/en_us.html https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us.html https://bloggingfordevs.com/blog https://business.instagram.com/blog https://developer.spotify.com/community/news/announcements https://discord.com/blog https://frontapp.com/blog https://indiehackers.com https://joelcalifa.com/blog https://linktr.ee/blog https://mixpanel.com/blog https://openai.com/blog/openai-api https://paystack.com/blog https://segment.com/blog https://telegram.org/blog https://transferwise.com/gb/blog https://web.dev/blog https://www.anyscale.com/blog https://www.binance.com/en/blog https://www.bugsnag.com/blog https://www.changeinvest.com/blog https://www.hackthebox.com/blog https://www.integromat.com/en/blog https://www.linode.com/blog https://www.loom.com/blog https://www.makerpad.co/blog https://www.tradingview.com/blog/en https://zapier.com/engineering

Hmm, I grabbed one of the links, hit "view source", searched for "atom" and "rss", and found: https://openai.com/blog/rss/ https://openai.com/blog/rss/ I haven't fed it into my RSS reader, which is on another machine, but, inspecting it with curl, it looks like RSS XML... does it not work for you? It is a problem that the webpage doesn't give any visible sign that it supports RSS. That is unfortunately common; I don't know why they do that. Anyway, for what it's worth: # fish shell here, with an alias ~> for x in (P | tr -d ' '); echo $x (curl -sL $x | egrep -c -i 'rss|atom'); end ... omitting the non-matches ... https://blog.close.com 1 https://bloggingfordevs.com/blog 1 https://discord.com/blog 1 https://linktr.ee/blog 2 https://openai.com/blog/openai-api 1 https://segment.com/blog 2 https://web.dev/blog 1 https://www.linode.com/blog 4 https://www.tradingview.com/blog/en 1

  I always check the source code as well to find the RSS/Atom link but looks like I've missed a few of them. However, some of them like (tradingview.com/blog/en) mention words RSS/Atom but they don't have a feed and for some of them (like blog.close.com) it's broken.

Interestingly, all blog engines I have ever tried support RSS. I don't know if I have it set on any of my sites (they don't have any content or traffic anyway), but the option is always there.
