Hi there!

I would like to create an own RSS feed, containing magnet links, something like on showrss.info .

But I want to be able to add a new item entry to this RSS feed from my phone.

None of these 2 processes I know how to, can anyone explain where to start?

Thx,  
Aaron

I have created an example flow that provides 2 endpoints

`http://node-red-ip:1880/updaterss` to add an item to the feed using a form  
`http://node-red-ip:1880/rss` that creates the rss feed.

When adding an entry via `/updaterss` it uses a flow variable (need to store it somewhere), it gets the existing elements and adds+saves the new array.

The `/rss` can be used in other applications that read it.

Flow:

```auto
