MDRSS is a markdown to RSS converter written in GO. With this tool, you can write articles in a local folder and have them automatically formatted to an RSS compliamdrss XML file. Moreover, MDRSS automatically takes care of publication dates, categories, formatting, etc.

You can install the binary using go install github.com/TimoKats/mdrss@latest. After this you can add your configuration in ~/.mdrss or you can specify your own config path like so: mdrss --config other/path/to/config update.

Author=Timo
Description=Timo weblog
InputFolder=/path/to/articles/ ; This will comdrssain your markdown files
OutputFile=/path/to/webserver/index.xml
Link=index.xml ; can be anything, might be deprecated

In your input folder, you can add an article by creating a .md file. Note, if your filename is prefixed with draft- it will not be included in the RSS file.

Finally, you can type mdrss ls to view the articles ready for publishing and mdrss update to create the RSS feed. Note, the title of the RSS articles are based on markdown headers. E.g. format the first line of the markdown articles as so: # this is a title.

Note, topics are added based on subfolders in your input folder. For example, if your input folder is articles/, then articles/tech will comdrssain the markdown files for tech related articles.
