RSS feed

You can subscribe to RSS feeds, which will be shown on your dashboard.

Add a feed

On the RSS page you can the feeds. This is currently using a simple rendering, therefore the customization is spatial.

Skip x lines

Note the field Skip x lines. This is used in conjunction with Fields (comma separated). If the fields you want to show are filled with the RSS's identifier, you can skip them.

Let's take an example. We want to show the fields "title" and "updated" on "https://forum.nim-lang.org/threadActivity.xml". As you can see below, the "title" and "updated" are populated with the RSS feeds' data (name of the feed and last update). To avoid having these in your feed, you need to insert 2 (skip 2) in the Skip x lines.
