blog-post-workflow
Show your latest blog posts from any sources or StackOverflow activity or Youtube Videos on your GitHub profile/project readme automatically using the RSS feed
Note: This table will most likely become out of date as I update the action. Head over to the GitHub Repository to see an up-to-date table.
This action does a little more than just parsing a simple RSS feed. It does start with this, however, and it uses this data as a backup for missing information. What it does do is use the link that it receives from the feed to fetch the HTML for the webpage of the blog, and then uses The Open Graph protocol to find the preview image for the post as well as the title and description. Any of this missing information is taken from the RSS feed, if it is there. If an image is not found for the post, then it is removed from the card.
As I planned to start blogging, I stumbled across this idea as I myself was looking to start a blogging presence of my own. As I looked around, I was able to only find one easy-to-use GitHub action that would allow me to add a list of my posts to my readme. Sadly, I was disappointed to discover that this action had little formatting, only setting up the posts as a bulleted list of links, which was less than appealing to the eye.
