Simon Willison advocates for RSS feeds to share personalized, rapidly developed apps

Simon Willison is advocating for an RSS feed specifically for "vibe-coded" applications, inspired by Matt Webb's desire for an installable feed of such tools. Willison suggests that as "vibe-coding" speeds up app creation, these applications become more personalized and frequent, akin to blog posts rather than traditional website launches. To demonstrate this concept, Willison has integrated an Atom feed into his own tools page, which pulls content from his tools.simonwillison.net site. AI
