RSS is a simple format. https://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_rss.asp

There are numerous ways to create an RSS feed, depends what language you like. I used PHP mainly to format the output, loop through a DB of entries or text files even. Very easy to do.

After thinking a little more about it though I guess what Im wondering is what the simplest way to create a usable rss feed is.

Im fine with setting up a backend of some kind if need be, but it seemed like it might be something that could be done as just an .rss file hosted on a frontend page through github pages.

Not sure if that makes sense but doing my best to describe the question. :-/

Thanks! I'm always a fan of W3schools for markdowny stuff like this.
