Experiment: self-host an RSS reader entirely on GitHub

Demo

GitHub

How does it work

• The feed is statically hosted as GitHub Pages. The content stays the same until the next build.
• The feed is rebuilt periodically by GitHub Actions.
• During a rebuild, cache from the previous build is used, so only new content will be downloaded and old content won't disappear even if the host cropped them in their feed.
• The content fetching and static site generation is powered by a custom node.js script. Refresh takes only a couple of seconds.
