how much of a PITA is it to add RSS to your own site?
- rednafi 2y agoNot much at all. If you are using a static site generator, they usually support it out of the box. Recently, one of my posts hit the front page here, and a few people emailed me asking for an RSS[1] feed. It turned out that it was just a simple config update to enable this on Hugo. Other SSGs usually support it out of the box too. Plus, it’s not too hard to build the XML from your HTML if you want to build it yourself from scratch.

- oneeyedpigeon 2y agoIt's an open text format. There are some complexities if you dive down the rabbit hole, but at the most basic level, it's pretty simple. I even do it by hand on one site that I rarely update.
