Handling of RSS feeds

[joshd]

I’m interested in knowing how RSS feeds are handles when you add one as a source for your blog. I’m toying with building out a tool that will allow you to take RSS feeds from walled gardens (letterboxd etc.) and tweak the output so you can style them in a different way.

To avoid having to build a database, I’m wondering if my custom RSS feeds are just a single post (updated when my tool notices a change in the source feed) that they would be picked up by micro.blog?

Yes, that’s right—every RSS <item> becomes its own blog post when you choose the Import posts to blog option. You might want to experiment on a test blog first until you get the hang of it.
