MailerLite

https://jalcocert.github.io/JAlcocerT/mailerlite-for-saas/#mailerlite-api

Setup MailerLite with your Custom Domain 📌

You will need to authenticate that you own the email and also the domain (with DNS).

Go to your mailerlite dashboard UI

I am using Cloudflare for that domain, and the DNS were updated automatically via UI.

There are some CName and txt records and they will be DNS only, not proxied.

MailerLite Custom Domain Setup

Create a new form and you will get the JS to place before the </head> of your web.

<!-- MailerLite Universal -->
<script>
    (function(w,d,e,u,f,l,n){w[f]=w[f]||function(){(w[f].q=w[f].q||[])
    .push(arguments);},l=d.createElement(e),l.async=1,l.src=u,
    n=d.getElementsByTagName(e)[0],n.parentNode.insertBefore(l,n);})
    (window,document,'script','https://assets.mailerlite.com/js/universal.js','ml');
    ml('account', 'some_acount_id');
</script>
<!-- End MailerLite Universal -->

You can also get MailerLite working with a button, so that it opens as pop up:

<a class="ml-onclick-form" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="ml('show', 'some_id_here', true)">Click here to show form</a>

and use it with your components, for example
<form id="simple-newsletter-form" class="input-container" method="post" action="javascript:void(0);" onsubmit="ml('show', 'some_id_here', true); return false;">
    <input type="submit" value="Ready to Know?" class="ml-onclick-form" style="appearance: button; -webkit-appearance: button; cursor: pointer;">
</form>

RSS

Some websites bring a RSS feed, so that you can subscribe with tools like FreshRSS:

FreshRSS | Docker Config 🐋 ↗

# Test RSS feed locally
curl -s http://localhost:4321/rss.xml | head -10
# Count episodes
curl -s http://localhost:4321/rss.xml | grep -c "<item>"
# Get episode titles
curl -s http://localhost:4321/rss.xml | grep -o "<title>.*</title>"

# Check headers
curl -I http://localhost:4321/rss.xml
# Test on production (once deployed)
curl -s https://podcast.jalcocertech.com/rss.xml | head -10

Youtube is one of the sites providing RSS feeds for the channels:

So we can pull the last video of a channel like: just take the ChannelID

My YT Tech Channel ↗

curl -s "https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCPPMA8ZEusAe5dVH6PbjZFA"
#curl -s "https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCPPMA8ZEusAe5dVH6PbjZFA" | grep -oP '(?<=<title>).*?(?=</title>)' | head -5
