zoneRSS - a Zonelets compatible RSS tool

2024-10-07

hey y'all, i'm posting to share a little tool i made recently: zoneRSS.

zoneRSS is a Zonelets-compatible RSS feed and posting tool. if you're not familiar with it, Zonelets is a free blogging engine by Marina Kittaka - i use it to write this blog! i love how the design of Zonelets encourages folks to get comfortable with HTML, tinkering on their own small sites, and generally making a space for themselves on the internet: i highly recommend checking it out if that sounds at all interesting to you.

anyway, zoneRSS is a set of tools i've made to make it easier for me to post to my Zonelets blog and also share those posts via RSS (a feature Zonelets doesn't include by default). you can install zoneRSS with your own Zonelets blog to add tools for RSS feed updating and post authoring, or use it without Zonelets as a standalone RSS microblog.

a few folks have already tried out zoneRSS and helped me find some bugs and areas where the manual was unclear - shout out to Kai and Christian in particular for helping me smooth out some rough edges!

if you try zoneRSS on your own site, send me a message to let me know how it goes!
