My website runs a curated RSS feed of critical film finance news
home.danieldeboulay.comI modified a GitHub project (https://github.com/yogthos/newsroom) to build a tailored news feed for my audience.
Now, I don't need to rely on solely being the content driver of my website.
Over time, this will ultimately prove to be habit forming as folks come to the web page to view a curated selection of news on a daily basis.
The next thing I want to do is advertise this functionality of the site.
I've been trying to push my web page into being something more than a personal portfolio page; so it's like a tool people might revisit more than once a week.
I haven't built an e-mail capture tool yet...I'm planning on using KIT for that.
Eager to hear some notes on how all of this could be improved.
I actually got inspired by an abandoned news concept that a celebrity once ran, that had a minimalist functionality and a rhythm of 2 or 3 daily drops.
Honestly, I could adjust my own site to have 2 daily drops as well. One in the morning, and then one in the afternoon.
This could be a relatively easy change as well... but eager to hear some other thoughts here.
I don't get it. You don't declare any RSS feed on your site. Do you mean you consume RSS feeds to create the HTML?
Yes
But now that you mention it
Is there a way to digest this curated feed from my HTML into an RSS feed that folks can sign up for?
There are services that do this, like OpenRSS, but I don't think they are intended for websites offering a RSS feed. You should do that with whatever software you use to create the HTML.
