I love building small projects to enhance community projects and this spring the NHL playoffs and IIHF World Championships have been keeping me busy with building two web projects between the games.
If you want to archive your Mastodon or other app/site feed posts into Obsidian as separate post entries, I wrote a post about how to use the Simple RSS plugin to do that.

I have this blog set up and ready for writing using a bare, classic web stack with no framework, no static site generator, just html/css files and some short scripts in JS and OCaml.
The only thing I feel is missing is an RSS feed. Presently I am feeling very inclined to just rolling my own RSS using the very same stack (a text editor and scripts) instead of switching to some SSG just to get an RSS feed. Something tells me that this is a sinful, heretic thought.
Ideas welcome on how to avoid such heresy. Encouragement to just do it also welcome.
