Hello Community Members,
With this post, let me share some of the development updates with you.
Add a podcast of your choice
- Now that we have a podcast app within 3Speak app, it is time to add additional features on top of it.
- One of the request from users was about enabling them to add an RSS Feed of a Podcast.
- @starkerz has been asking for this very specifically.
What is RSS Feed?
- RSS feed = Really Simple Syndication
- RSS allows users and applications to access updates to websites in a standardized, computer-readable format
- With RSS, you can subscribe to News Feed, Podcast feed & so much more.
- RSS is heavily used in Podcasting industry
