## RSS Feed Widget

Displays one or more RSS, ATOM, or JSON Feed streams directly on a Homarr board — useful for monitoring news, app release feeds, or self-hosted blog updates.

## Supported Feed Standards

| Standard | Spec |
|----------|------|
| RSS | [RSS 2.0 Board spec](https://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification) |
| ATOM | [RFC 5023](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5023) |
| JSON Feed | [JSON Feed v1.1](https://www.jsonfeed.org/version/1.1/) |

## Configuration Options

| Option | Description | Default |
|--------|-------------|---------|
| Feed URLs | List of RSS/ATOM/JSON feed URLs | Empty |
| Enable RTL | Right-to-left layout for Arabic/Hebrew/etc. | No |
| Description line clamp | Max lines shown per item description | 5 |
| Amount posts limit | Max number of posts shown (1–9999) | 100 |
| Hide description | Show only titles | No |
| Show poster image | Display thumbnail beside content | No |

- Multiple feeds can be added to a single widget — items are aggregated
- Each URL must be a valid and accessible endpoint (no auth support)

## Example Feed URLs

```
https://blog.google/products/chrome/rss/
https://www.wired.com/rss/
https://torrentfreak.com/feed/
https://www.w3.org/blog/feed/
https://noted.lol/rss/
```

## Adding the Widget

Follow the standard widget-add flow described in [[wiki/homelab/homarr-boards|Homarr Boards]] — search for "RSS Feed" in the widget picker and drop it onto the board.

## Key Takeaways

- Supports RSS, ATOM, and JSON Feed — covers virtually every news site and app blog
- Multiple feed URLs per widget — one tile can aggregate several sources
- RTL toggle makes it usable for right-to-left language feeds
- `Hide description` + tight line clamp keeps the tile compact on dense dashboards
- No authentication support — feeds must be publicly accessible or on LAN without auth
- Poster images add visual context but increase widget height
