How to use it?

Github Pages

1. Use the NotFeed-Template generate your own repository.
2. In the repository root, open Config.toml file, click the “Pencil (Edit this file)” button to edit.
3. Remove # to uncommend the cacheUrl property, replace <github_username> with your GitHub username, and replace <repo> with your GitHub repo name.

4. In the sources, update the items to the sources you want to follow. The final content of the file should look similar to this:

   site_title = "ArxivDaily"
   cache_max_days = 7
   sources = [
       "https://export.arxiv.org/rss/cs.CL"
   ]
   # proxy = "http://127.0.0.1:7890" ## Optional: default is None
   # statics_dir   = "statics"       ## Optional: default is "statics"
   # templates_dir = "includes"      ## Optional: default is "includes"
   # cache_url = "https://GITHUB_USERNAME.github.io/REPO_NAME/cache.json"
   # minify = true
      
   # [scripts]
   # highlight = "scripts/highlight.rhai"
   

5. Scroll to the bottom of the page, click “Commit changes” button.
6. Once the rebuild finishes, your feed will be available at https://<github_username>.github.io/<repo>
