RSS Feeds in Digital Gardens
I have implemented an rss feed on this website (notes.aquiles.me/feed.rss) as a way of keeping track of the latest changes in the garden. My original idea was to use the feed as a way of triggering webmentions. In this way, I can have a fully static website and could use a third party service for more complex behavior.
So far, I haven't found a solution (haven't searched) that does what I was having in mind.
I still believe RSS feeds can be a useful way of linking gardens together. For example, if I link to a third-person note, I could monitor changes to that specific note, effectively allowing for a 2-way link (if a note changes, I would know I should check whether the link is still relevant, etc.)
One of the problems of transclusion (especially inter-domain transclusions), is how to handle changes to content that are not within our control. RSS is the simples way of decentralizing and distributing content. Specifically, what I have in mind, is something similar to how git lists changes, served via RSS on specific endpoints.
For a digital garden, however, I couldn't find examples of people actively engaging in this type of discussion. The same for comments on digital gardens. I am still trying to find like-minded people (Not all developers are computer savvy) that understand how the internet works and what options are available for knowledge creation across different gardens.
