Tracking Elm Discourse feed programatically

In an effort to help with migration for any maintainers of tools that aggregate news about Elm here’s a no-server, no-configuration way to load the latest posts from the discourse.

  1. Sign up for and add feednami to your page
  2. Load the latest posts with feednami.load('https://discourse.elm-lang.org/latest.rss', callback)

You can also load feeds for other categories and individual topics by appending .rss to the URL: https://discourse.elm-lang.org/t/new-dict-implementation-for-elm-now-done/174.rss

If you’d like to not use feednami then it’ll be up to you to set up a proxy server for the data. If you decide to go this route you can also replace .rss with .json to get JSON data directly.
