RSS/Atom feed show/list function
Does anyone happen to have a show/list function that outputs an RSS/Atom feed?
I couldn't find any in the archives so far. Just hoping somebody
already has a code snippet lying around.
It's to help some people out hosting a literary blogfest. Thought I
could give them a form connected to a couch database for bloggers to
enter their post URLs. Then publish a feed to aggregate the posts from
all the various personal blogs.
Thanks,
Marcus

You can embed Github gists. There's a widget, I think.
Wordpress.com has it built in. So much better than using the code
markup tag which often gets selected and copied incorrectly.

I agree, we should keep up an examples/best practice section in the wiki...
That being said, most of what I like linking to are github snippets so
people can see code in a wider context. Is there some sort of github
viewer we can embed in the wiki? So a meta example of embedding code
in the wiki.

Might it be an idea to document snippets like this on the wiki? A sort of
show/list/view library.

Thanks Benoit, looks handy. Only Jens has a point. I get this browser error:

I realize this is going off-topic; just replying to the list to let the OP know that this code doesn’t generate valid feeds. Further RSS/Atom minutae should be off-list :)

Two potential issues with this, from quick inspection:
(1) The date is emitted from the template just using "<pubDate>{{created_at}}</pubDate>”. It’s not clear whether the created_at field has the correct date format for RSS 2.0.
(2) The XML is generated by calling Mustache.to_html. Does Mustache realize it’s generating XML not HTML? Otherwise it might for instance generate HTML escapes (like "é") that aren’t defined in raw XML.

If you feel like trying your hand at building/extending another
news-reader client, Dale Harvey's Settee would be a good place to start:

Max Ogden's monocles app has an atom feed:

I don’t have an answer, but if you find or write one, please test it with the W3C Feed Validator:
http://validator.w3.org/appc/
In a past life I wrote a news-reader client, and the number of invalid RSS feeds we found in the wild was astounding. It made my job a lot more painful to have to deal with tag soup, screwy date formats, broken metacharacter escaping, etc. etc.

Late to the party but for the records I've got one that passes http://validator.w3.org/appc/ validation as used on http://n.exts.ch:
https://github.com/natevw/Glob/blob/master/lists/posts.js#L67
https://github.com/natevw/Glob/blob/master/lib/atom.js
Atom generation was derived from this file in jchris's Sofa blog example:
https://github.com/jchris/sofa/blob/master/vendor/couchapp/lib/atom.js
It uses e4x so it looks a little crazy but works fine in CouchDB's SpiderMonkey and should avoid "handwritten" XML pitfalls.
