RSS for Vibe‑Coded Apps – Adding Atom Feed to Tools Page
Add an Atom feed to your tools page to enable easy sharing of vibe‑coded apps.
Implement an Atom feed on your tools page to allow users to subscribe and install apps.
Summary
Matt Webb suggested adding an RSS feed for the growing number of vibe‑coded apps, and the idea was implemented by adding an Atom feed to the /elsewhere/tools/ page. The feed includes an icon and is populated from the tools.simonwillison.net site, allowing each item to display an install button. The feed was added using Claude to generate the necessary code, and the implementation demonstrates how micro‑apps can be shared via a simple web feed. This approach aligns with the trend of treating app releases like blog posts, making it easier for users to discover and install new tools.
