RSS Feed Widget
Turn any RSS feed into a card grid with 3 lines of code
A zero-dependency JavaScript widget that renders any RSS feed as a responsive card grid. Two files, one function call, and you get category filtering, skeleton loading, dark mode, and WCAG AA contrast out of the box. Install via npm, jsDelivr CDN, or just download the files. No frameworks, no build step, no configuration needed beyond a feed URL and a container selector. Under 7KB gzipped. MIT licensed. Default demo powered by how-to-do.net.
Hellow my fellow hunters! I built this because I wanted to show RSS content on a website without pulling in React or a framework just for a feed widget.
The whole thing is two files and three lines of code. Pass it any RSS feed URL and it renders a card grid with filtering, dark mode, and loading skeletons automatically.
The default demo uses the how-to-do.net RSS feed where I publish practical step-by-step guides, but it works with any standard RSS feed. Everything is open source and MIT licensed.
Would love to hear what you think or if you end up using it in a project.
dropped it into a side project last night and the 7KB claim checks out, loaded instantly with no fiddling. dark mode just works without me having to think about it, which is rare for something this small.
How does the skeleton loading behave if the feed takes more than a few seconds to respond, and is there a built-in timeout or fallback for feeds that fail to load entirely?
