    Cloudflare Worker that generates RSS Feeds for web.dev

  • This is hilarious big-company shit, that engineer on Chrome devrel team finds it easier to actually just write his own unofficial RSS feed-generator and make it public [1] — the feed for this blog is at [2] — than for the "Internal issues have been filed with the DevSite team" to get worked on [3]. And who knows when this will rise to a priority for that team?

    In the old Google, it would have been easier for anyone to just fix this internally.

    (Disclaimer: I work at Google but not anything related to this; all my information comes from links in this HN thread.)

  • web.dev

    Discontinued The frontend, backend, and content source code for web.dev

  • I noticed the same for Google's site https://web.dev/

    The last article pushed to the feed was "Changes to the web.dev infrastructure" few months ago https://web.dev/blog/webdev-migration

    The feed still there but with no updates https://web.dev/feed.xml and on the site you can see new articles published.

    Is sad that on a infrastructure revamp of a modern site, the RSS feed was left out of the features list (at least for now).
