You Can Make Your Own RSS Feed for Newsletters

From an article by Anne Helen Petersen:

“I understand why newsletters took off and RSS didn’t. Most people are never going to download a dedicated app for reading news and take the time to set it up—but everyone has email. That doesn’t change the fact that I, personally, prefer an RSS reader to keep up with news and another to manage my email.

“The problem for people like me is that a lot of the best content out there is only available as a newsletter. Luckily, there’s a compromise, of sorts. Most newsletter services provide an RSS feed—but if not, you can usually just make your own.

“Find existing RSS feeds for newsletters

“Most of the major newsletter services—Substack, Buttondown, Ghost, and BeeHiiv—offer some kind of RSS feed. And in the case of both Buttondown and BeeHiiv, the feed is generally easy to find—just look for the “RSS” option in the header. Click that to open the feed, which you can copy to your RSS reader of choice.

Can’t find the RSS feed? Make one instead”
