Blog Post Workflow GitHub Action

My Workflow

Show your latest blog posts from any sources or StackOverflow activity or Youtube Videos on your GitHub profile/project readme automatically using the RSS feed.

With an amazing open source community, this action is currently used by more than 4K+ users and it is one of the top 20 most used/starred Github Actions internationally in the GitHub Marketplace. It also has 1.5K+ stars.

For this hackathon i tried to improve my existing Github action by doing the following:

  • Refactored code
  • Added categories support
  • Aded templating support to categories
