RSS Feeds for updated & new userscripts and forum about openuserjs.org

I want to implement RSS feeds for OUJS.

I was thinking of using jpmonette/feed

This is not rerlated to #914

Where can I get an API key to practice on OUJS?

Is there a server that OUJS (dev) can be tested on?

Maybe. It depends on if the VPS can handle the traffic and how it may be abused in our current bad actor environment.

That's how it works. Find the mood please.

Needs npm . Our build/exec/deploy is currently my domain since I maintain the backend... so no extra build steps at this time... or you will have to seriously sell me on it which won't be easy.

RSS has a property for setting of recommended (update check) interval; this can be ignored by RSS Readers. I do get error of "HTTP 429 Too Many Requests" when I navigate pages with Back and Forward buttons, yet much less in recent months. I assume that this is what would happen when someone would scan given feeds too often. Do you think it would be good to make this error message (429) of feed paths in the form of XML so that it would appear as a message inside RSS Readers that don't specify the exacy reason for network errors?

I will.

That's #1548 and continual everywhere else as well. We've reduced some of it but alterations happen with the bad actors. Until I can get more resources in the back-end this has to be the way... more costs more money.

Yes and the caching (http, rss/atom, and limiter(s)) will be enforced... which is why there is a maybe on this issue. The bad actors literally have nothing better to do in their nets and constantly hit unprotected sites.

This is partially related to the last half of #1971 ... still pondering this. Translations would eventually be nice to have but I haven't run by any tool kits in JavaScript/Node that actually handle this gracefully yet alone MVC which can be done with a "code" that goes into the View... but before I got here that wasn't implemented so there's a bit to change.
