jekyll-feed VS omscs-journey

XML feeds are often generated by templating, rather than actual XML serialisation. The official Jekyll Feed plugin has this: https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-feed/blob/master/lib/jekyll...

JSON is much more easily generated by a valid generator, and less likely to face serialisation issues.

Awesome. I was able to get this going easily enough on my jekyll-created site that uses the jekyll-feeds plugin. You just have to name the template right and it just works.

Disable Jekyll-feed plugin from _config.yml

It looks like this [1] plugin [2] is supported in jekyll / GitHub pages [3].

So, it seems like adding RSS / Atom feeds on a jekyll or GitHub pages site is pretty straightforward.

Nice site! Another fellow note-taker inspired by Gilles Castel I see ;) Would you be willing to add an RSS feed to your site so people can follow it and get updates? It's been a while since I used jekyll but I think you just need to add jekyll-feed to the Gemfile and config.yml. See here

There is again an easy way out with the jekyll-feed plugin. Add the plugin, do a bundle install and the feed should start appearing at /feed.xml.

I was afraid of that. I was starting to think that how my Atom feed is created is not properly formed XML. I'm using this to build the feed, https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-feed/blob/master/lib/jekyll-feed/feed.xml. See line number 66 for the content I'm talking about ({{ post.content | strip | xml_escape }}). Maybe I just can't do what I'm trying to accomplish using only XSLT. I just wanted to have the option for the user of having the summary or the full on content with HTML markup and all. BTW, the file I referenced is written with Liquid Template Language.

I have tried using the provided theme like Minima but, I just don’t like it after all. That’s why I think it’s better to create my own. I tried to create the simplest design as long as it is easy to be read. I used Coolors, Google Font, Rogue, Jekyll Paginate, Jekyll Feed, and write a bit of Ruby, CSS, and JS for creating the theme itself. I didn’t think creating this simple blog costs me 2 Saturdays, even though it only consists of as many as 3 pages.
