The web-features-explorer has pages that would be pretty useful for developers to consume via a set of RSS feeds.

In particular:

Subscribers would receive updates from these pages in their favorite RSS clients.

Couple of requests for an RSS feed here:

To anyone interested in this: if you have some time on your hands that you'd like to offer to a good cause, and if you know a little bit of eleventy and how RSS feeds work, then your help is more than welcome!
Let me know here and I can help with context and setup.

As a temporary workaround, I used web scraping in my RSS aggregator FreshRSS, producing this workable feed of https://web-platform-dx.github.io/web-features-explorer/recent/:

Screenshot

If you also use FreshRSS, you can import the feed definition using this file: f_155 Baseline Newly Available.opml.xml.txt (remove .txt, GH didn't allow uploading .xml)

opml.xml source 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<opml xmlns:frss="https://freshrss.org/opml" version="2.0">
  <head>
    <title>FreshRSS</title>
    <dateCreated>Thu, 12 Sep 2024 11:58:22 +0300</dateCreated>
  </head>
  <body>
    <outline text="Baseline Newly Available" type="HTML+XPath" xmlUrl="https://web-platform-dx.github.io/web-features-explorer/recent/" htmlUrl="https://web-platform-dx.github.io/web-features-explorer/recent/" description="RSS feed of Web Features: Baseline Newly Available" frss:xPathItem="//div[contains(@class, 'baseline-low')]" frss:xPathItemTitle="descendant::h2" frss:xPathItemContent="descendant::p" frss:xPathItemUri="descendant::a/@href" frss:xPathItemTimestamp="normalize-space(descendant::div[contains(@class, 'availability')]/text())" frss:xPathItemCategories="descendant::div[contains(@class,'tags')]//span/text()" frss:xPathItemUid="@id"/>
  </body>
</opml>

If your RSS reader supports manual scraping, you can check out these definitions; and insert/refactor the XPaths/CSS selectors.

I thought the release notes page should have RSS, so I created a PR.

📝 Baseline has no concept of date, so it is a little difficult to handle as RSS.

This is awesome. Thank you so much for working on this. I'll take a look at the PR in a bit.

As for the Baseline newly available and widely available pages, they do have a concept of date:

  • Newly available means "all browsers that are part of the baseline core browser set" now support this feature. So the date for this is the release date of whichever browser implemented the feature last. For example, the mutually exclusive details element feature got implemented in Firefox recently, when version 130 came out, on 2024-09-03.
  • Widely available means 30 months after that. So in 30 months from now, the above feature will be considered Baseline Widely Available.

But, let's start with the release notes pages, as it's probably the most useful and go from there.

One more idea posted in #23: having a RSS feed per feature as well. This way you can subscribe to a feature you're interested in and get interesting updates as things move forward.
