RSS Feeds
Any page on your site can become an RSS feed. Links inside a note automatically become feed items.
How it works
Add .rss.xml to any note's URL and get a ready RSS feed.
Example: /reading becomes /reading.rss.xml
Every link on the page becomes a feed item:
- Link text → item title
- URL → item link
- If the link points to one of your notes — its description and creation date are pulled in
Items appear in the same order as links on the page.
Setup
Basic usage
Nothing to configure. Add .rss.xml to any page URL:
https://yoursite.com/reading → https://yoursite.com/reading.rss.xml
Custom title and description
By default the feed title and description come from the note. Override them in frontmatter:
---
rss_title: "My Reading List"
rss_description: "Articles and books worth reading"
---
| Field | Purpose | Default |
|---|---|---|
rss_title |
RSS channel title | Note title |
rss_description |
RSS channel description | Note description |
Disabling RSS
Add enable_rss = false in site settings to disable feed generation entirely.
Use cases
Topic curator — collect links on a topic in one note. Add a new article — subscribers are notified automatically.
Currently reading — a growing list of books and articles. Subscribers follow your discoveries in real time.
Work journal — daily notes with links to tasks and resources. Colleagues subscribe and see what you're working on.
Project roadmap — add links to completed features. Users subscribe to progress updates.
Changelog — each release is a link to a note with the change description. History of changes as an RSS feed.
Troubleshooting
Feed is empty — check that the page has links. Images and media don't appear in RSS — only text links.
No descriptions — descriptions are pulled only for internal links (your notes). External links have no description.
No dates — dates come from the target note's created_at field. If missing, the item has no date.
