Sairin support RSS out of the box. You need to set url on the sairin.config.ts to enable it:

// sairin.config.ts

export default {
  siteConfig: {
    title: 'Sairin',
+   url: 'http://your-site.com'
  },
} as SairinConfig;

The RSS feed is on http://your-site.com/rss.xml.

No.

Blog will be updated every 1 minute.

Sairin supports custom theme. But the API is not stable now. If you still want to try to develope a theme, you could see the source code of the built-in theme sairin-theme-minimal.

Sairin use pnpm to organize the packages, you need to install pnpm first.

Install the dependencies:

$ pnpm i

Create a .env file on example/:

GITHUB_TOKEN= # need to provide a GitHub access token when developing, or it will reach the API request rate limit.
REPO=djyde/sairin # you can change to any repo for debugging

Run dev command:

$ pnpm run dev --filter "*" --parallel

This command will run a blog on localhost.
