Benchmark Radar Day 12: Daily RSS Feed from Snapshot History
Published:
The radar now publishes an RSS feed. Day twelve was a single-feature day with an outsized impact.

What shipped
Daily RSS feed. A new CI step generates an RSS feed from the snapshot history. Each day’s findings appear as an RSS entry with links to the cited evidence. The feed is published as a GitHub Pages artifact.
Why it matters
RSS is the lowest-friction way to subscribe to a data stream. No email setup, no webhook configuration, no API key. You point your RSS reader at the feed URL and you get daily updates.
For a benchmark radar, RSS is particularly natural. Benchmarks are updated on irregular schedules. Some weeks are quiet; others have five new releases. RSS handles this gracefully: you see what happened, when it happened, without the radar needing to decide how to “notify” you.
The feed also made the radar’s output machine-readable. Other tools can subscribe to the feed and trigger their own workflows when new benchmarks appear.
