💡 Idea

I would like to integrate ntfy where i cant add an app / PWA myself but would be able to add RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds.
In some scenarios it might be possible to create a native integration - in others its not.

RSS is "oldscool" but not "legacy" by any means.
It is NOT meant to be in real time but still better then no "feed".

A lot of online services still provide it, despite the fact that they dont advertise it any more. github, youtube or reddit for example.
But every (good 😉) news site / news reader in general still utilities RSS.

This would make ntfy compatible with embedded devices / software with some "smart" capabilities like a MagicMirror² or other closed source stuff.

💻 Target components

ntfy server: something like https://ntfy.sh/{{ topic }}/rss.
and later on maybe implement /atom or other similar feeds

Problematic might be the "point of generation":

on every message will create an unnecessary load
on every pull might cause timeouts - and high load peaks

so something like this might work:

enabled per topic where needed (maybe as premium feature)
generated every 60 seconds
only last 50 messages

Edit:
there are more formats for feeds like RSS out there - ATOM for example
