Missing web feed (Atom or RSS) for blog posts about wswsh

[Ypnose]

Good evening,
Thanks for your message and sorry for the huge delay, it was not on purpose. One year ago to the day (almost), Atom feed was actually removed from wswsh (513a566). I did it because it seemed to me that my articles were kinda ignored and also because the code was kinda bloated. Glad to see there is at least one person requesting the feed ! :)
If you are one of those mysterious readers and think it would be better, I could find a few hours in that lockdown in order to write a local script. It would make your life easier ?

PS: Your avatar reminds me all those hours spent in Neverwinter Nights 2. Good old days.

Guilty as charged ! :)

and think it would be better

It seems useful to have a standard, script-friendly way of retrieving blog articles. Whether it's implemented as an Atom/RSS feed, or through another standard, doesn't matter much to me. I suggested Atom/RSS because it's the only game in town that I know of, but if you can think of a more modern alternative, I'd be happy to use it as well.

You and me both. Next step: listen to the main theme, and remember all those hours spent just in creating a character.
You're welcome :) .

As I know Atom quite a bit and like how it's not so bloated compared to RSS, I wrote a script to generate the feed. It was quite funny to do actually (as always with awk). I'm satisfied with the final result. It was also validated as an Atom 1.0 feed.
Would you mind to take a look, please ? Let me know if it fits your need.

About Neverwinter Nights OST, I advice you to listen to Mask of the Betrayer OST. Despite the Spirit thing crap, the atmosphere of that game is outstanding.

• Blog page advertises feed through a <link rel="alternate">
• HTTP response for feed mentions Content-Type: text/xml
• Feed is valid with respect to Atom standards (my parser succeeded)
• Feed items link to blog posts (my parser recognized 12 blog posts)

Looks neat to me, thank you !

Haven't played that one, so OST expectedly doesn't elicit as many emotions on my side. Definitely on my to-play list, though.
