RSS Feed for Release Notes

Just a (for me, at least) brief note this time from right off the top of my head:

Being the shameless Trakt fanboy that I am, reading your published release notes is a small treat I permit myself in those rare moments when I’m not trying to accomplish the sixth task in a day with only enough hours for five. :weary: I wish I was better able to keep an eye on them than I’m usually able to, in fact.

I know you guys offer the email notifications for them, but could I put a bug in your ear to perhaps whip up an RSS/Atom feed as an alternative should you ever have a few minutes to spare? I know how passé such feeds have become in recent years…but really, what could be better suited to buttressing one’s sanity in this crazy attention-based economy we find ourselves in—or more quaintly genteel—than some “pull” notifications for a change?

Get out of jail free card

I’d totally understand, though, if you don’t see sufficient value-add in it to merit a spot on the roadmap; I once received just the :sauropod: emoji to a similar request in the past and have since made peace with my inner sauropod, LOL.

That’s all from me this time around, though I have been wanting to say that the latest site redesign has been a total hit with me (once the initial shock faded, naturally). I’ve been too buried lately to have seen much of the reaction to it here, but I hope it was one of those rare frontend rollouts that avoided most of the usual histrionics. If not, perhaps it can be some small consolation that I decided long ago if there should ever be a fantasy :baseball: league for frontend devs, Trakt will be batting cleanup for my team. :wink:

As always, with warmest regards,
Peter

Did you try https://releasenotes.trakt.tv/feed?

Seems to work for me.

Where did you find that? They should have that linked somewhere.

…no, in fact I hadn’t. :man_facepalming:t3: Since switching to using the Vivaldi browser as my feed aggregator, it’s been so effective at making me aware of when a page has a feed available that when it didn’t report one for the release notes, I didn’t even test any obvious potential URLs. Shame on me.

Your link got me set up just as I’d wanted; thank you so very much!

I do concur with @terryapodaca, though, that it would be lovely if it were a little more visible (at least on that page) as a co-equal alternative to the email notifications. Easily solved “issues” like this one are the best kind of issues, save for those that never manifest at all. I’ll hold up my end as well and dig into exactly how Vivaldi’s feed sensing mechanism works and try to report back if I discover why it didn’t sense this one. Cheers.

I think I added the release notes page in Reeder (RSS client for iPhone/iPad/Mac), which detected the link.
