## Technical Simplicity
From a technical perspective, like [Gemini](gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space) [\(HTTP\)](https://gemini.circumlunar.space/) it's grokkable with a couple good reads of the specification.
I wrote [a simple generator](https://ktyl.dev/blog/2022/6/3/rss.md)] for my blog posts, and am now working on [a simpler one](./feed.py) for the garden.
To start with, I'd like to generate it as simply as possible, from just a directory structure, but I can already see I'd like to do more with it.
I work predominantly in [Git](https://git-scm.com/) repositories, which, like a directory, or a garden, is tree-based.
My blog's feed has a chronological hierarchy, but at present it's based on manually creating and naming folders.
It's also very much a _published_ format, rather than a living one.
This is silly!
Instead, I'd like to structure my feed around a Git repository, as I think it'd be a much better descriptor of activity.
## Managing YouTube Subscriptions
There are many reasons to avoid the YouTube homepage, such as recommended videos or the accursed Shorts. There are many reasons to avoid the YouTube homepage, such as recommended videos or the accursed Shorts.
Since RSS feeds are published per-channel, it's totally possible to circumvent its subscription system entirely - including having to make an account - and keep track of channels one enjoys with RSS feeds instead.
