While thiking about implementing .well-known for RSS feeds on my site, I had another idea. Since that uses OPML anyways, I remembered recently doing something similar for my blogroll.

The concept is the same, except instead of making my blogroll discoverable, I'm doing it for my feeds. At the end of the day, a blogroll is a collection of feeds, so it should just work for my own feeds.

The implementation ended up being:

  1. Create an OPML file for each of the feeds on by website.

     <opml version="2.0">
       <head>
     	<title>Luis Quintanilla Feeds</title>
     	<ownerId>https://www.luisquintanilla.me</ownerId>
       </head>
       <body>
     	<outline title="Blog" text="Blog" type="rss" htmlUrl="https://www.lqdev.me/posts/1" xmlUrl="https://www.lqdev.me/blog.rss" />
     	<outline title="Microblog" text="Microblog" type="rss" htmlUrl="https://www.lqdev.me/feed" xmlUrl="https://www.lqdev.me/microblog.rss" />
     	<outline title="Responses" text="Responses" type="rss" htmlUrl="https://www.lqdev.me/feed/responses" xmlUrl="https://www.lqdev.me/responses.rss" />
     	<outline title="Mastodon" text="Mastodon" type="rss" htmlUrl="https://www.lqdev.me/mastodon" xmlUrl="https://www.lqdev.me/mastodon.rss" />
     	<outline title="Bluesky" text="Bluesky" type="rss" htmlUrl="https://www.lqdev.me/bluesky" xmlUrl="https://www.lqdev.me/bluesky.rss" />
     	<outline title="YouTube" text="YouTube" type="rss" htmlUrl="https://www.lqdev.me/youtube" xmlUrl="https://www.lqdev.me/bluesky.rss" />
       </body>
     </opml>
    
  2. Add a link tag to the head element of my website.

     <link rel="feeds" type="text/xml" title="Luis Quintanilla's Feeds" href="/feed/index.opml">
