InfoWorld RSS Feed Generator

August 16, 2025 ยท View on GitHub

This code will allegedly create an RSS feed of my articles at InfoWorld. It was written by Claude Opus in response to my prompts seeking code to create an RSS feed for my InfoWorld articles using GitHub Actions. Alas Claude preferred to write this in JavaScript instead of R, so I went with that. ๐Ÿ˜… This should update every Thursday at 8 AM Eastern Time.

The format of some of the articles is wrong, showing byline where the title should be Working on that but I've reached my Claude limit for awhile.

๐Ÿ“ก Accessing the RSS Feed

In theory, anyone can access the RSS feed at: https://smach.github.io/sharon-infoworld-rss/feed.xml

Update: Claude did write me an R script to generate the RSS feed. The GitHub Action is taking a long time to debug and even run, so I'm sticking with the JavaScript version for actually creating the RSS feed.
