Examining AI and how to automate tasks that would have taken hours or even days to accomplish isn't as straightforward as one might think.

I recently spent most of a day trying to figure out how to get multiple feeds onto an old domain I own to keep it active and to refresh every 6-12 hours.

The complexity of transferring the feeds into manageable XML, then extrapolating and combining the data into one manageable feed, allowed for their export into a JSON file on GitHub. This triggered a deploy and build process, updating the live website.

With so many variables involved, protocols like base64, SHA, and JSON made it a challenging task. Still haven't managed a clean join of various feeds, but it's getting there.

Why didn't I use Feedly or an RSS app? I wanted to see if we could do this without cost, as I'm just trying to keep an old domain active.

Achievements - I've learned loads better than trawling through hours of YouTube videos.
