New RSS feeds deployed - I got the new RSS feeds working and deployed on the live website. I announced it on Twitter. You can find the latest feeds on the feeds page.

There are now per item feeds for the blog, linkblog, podcast, newsletter and notes. They are all full text feeds so include the full post. There is also the by date feeds that were there previously for the links and notes since they have a much more frequent cadence, so a summary feed still makes sense.

The cool thing is that I found a way to create an everything feed. The everything feed includes all the post types.

Over the next few weeks I'll hopefully be able to redesign the homepage to display all the posts types interleaved. I think it will be better than the latest page which often feels a bit disjointed.

Progress feels good :) #

Everything is trending - I finished and deployed the everything RSS feed for the website yesterday. I had been working on the feature in one way or another, amidst all sorts of blockages and bizare synchronicities for at least 28 weeks. At least that's how many weeks the task has been active in my feature tracking system. So imagine my suprise when today on the Changelog News podcast there was a story about a recent npm incident where someone created an everything package, hilarity ensued. But seriously world what are the chances that I would hear of this less than 24 hours after deploying my long running totally unrelated everything feed feature? Gosh aren't we all so darn clever. #
