RSS feed by tags

[suryaanshrai]

Problem

When working with RSS feeds, which are useful for notifications, having separate feeds for tags will allow users to let their audience subscribe to topics of choice. Say, a user publishes content on games, tech, travel, politics and product reviews, but the entire audience of the user might not be interested in all the topics. Some just wanna receive notifications on gaming and tech while other's might just be interested in the travel blogs. By having a separate feed for each tag that a user adds to his posts, this feed management could be done.

End goal

Having different feeds by tags, either like quartz.io/tag-name.xml or quartz.io/tags/tag-name.xml

Proposed general solution

Modifying the ContentIndex plugin to emit feeds per tag instead of a global feed.

I can pick this up if the maintainers agree and relevance for this issue is approved :)

Hey,

Feel free to submit a proposal for this.

I think the behavior should be configurable. No/default configuration should be current behavior (single RSS file). I think it would probably be desirable to optionally let the user define a list of tags to include (or exclude), as not all tags may be relevant for an RSS feed or may be overly verbose.

Perhaps you have some ideas about this?

Yes, the default behaviour must remain the same, i.e. a global feed at /index.xml. But for the tags I beleive making it such that /tag/<tag-id>.xml, where tag-id is the markdown tag itself, should be the default behaviour for all the tags.

Because if somebody from the user's audience want to subscribe to a particular tag only, its something that person would do willingly. So having rss feeds for each tag would just be more of an accessibility option for visitors of the website to stay updated on particular type of feed published.

So say a visitor on my quartz page only wants to subscribe to my content that is tagged as travel, they'll just have to use the mysite.com/tag/travel.xml for subscribing to that particular feed.

This way if i am publishing content accross multiple topics and if audience is not interested in all of them, they can still choose to subscribe to those particular topics which they find interesting on my site.
