archivesRead your Rails Heroes
Ruby on Rails is moving fast. So you need to stay tuned to Rails news. What is best than reading RoR heroes’ blogs ? Yep, nothing.
To help you, Railsinside has on its home page a list of Rails heroes. Unfortunately, as the links link toward their blogs and not towards their RSS flow, it might be tedious to add all the flows to your reader. And sometimes it is not immediate to understand where the flow is hidden.
It is only recently that I have added all these flows to my reader. In order to facilitate you the work, here is the Railsinside list of Rails heroes with links to their RSS flow. For some of them, I have not found the flow. If you know their address, please leave it in the comments. A few more flows will be suggested as a bonus. All these flows are added to my public netvibes page. Check it to have a look at what it looks like to be so close to all these minds.
- James Adam
- Fabio Akita
- Ryan Bates
- David A Black
- Jamis Buck
- Hampton Catlin
- Ryan Davis
- Robert Dempsey
- Jamie van Dyke
- Obie Fernandez
- Geoffrey Grosenbach
- David Heinemeier Hansson
- Amy Hoy
- P J Hyett
- Yehuda Katz
- Tobias Lütke
- Rick Olson
- Gregg Pollack
- Luke Redpath
- Jason Seifer
- Josh Susser
- Chris Wanstrath
- Evan Weaver
- Dr Nic Williams
- Ezra Zygmuntowicz
Let’s add to this RoR’s blog, Railsinside and Rubyinside:
Some other great flows I have in my list are:
- PullMonkey
- Igvita
- Railstip
[EDIT] Added thanks to the comments: - Ryan Daigle
[EDIT] Here is the OPML for all the previous RSS flows. Using this file you can import the links into your preferred RSS reader.
[EDIT] Thanks to Luke the list is now complete. And in case, like me, you did not know this Firefox feature, at the right of the url bar you have a star and a orange wave sign (the RSS logo). Just click on it to get the RSS flows that are ‘hidden’ (or not finally ;-) ) in the blog. Star is to fave the blog.
Then, I won’t resist to recommend you my flow ;-)
And finally for French readers:
Let me know in the comments if you see any problem with the links or if you know one of the missing links. Also, if you have a blog about Rails activities, you are welcome to leave a link to your RSS flow. I might add the best ones to this list.
Happy reading.
PS Other Rails resources
PPS Doing this, I was amazed by the number of feeds going through feedburners. But if you are interested by stats about your feed you need to use it. So, I guess I will have to use it too.

Hi Harry,
Thanks for adding me to your list. Here’s the link to our blog feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/AtlanticDominionSolutions
Very nice and helpful list, 10x for sharing. But one blog I see missing - Ryan’s Scraps ( http://ryandaigle.com/ ). This is the blog from where I found about the new stuff in rails :)
Thanks, iv’e been looking around for such a list in a long time.
any chance to post OPML here?
James Adam can be found at http://interblah.net/
Oh, and Luke Redpath can be found at: http://lukeredpath.co.uk/blog
@Chris, thanks, yes their blogs can be found at these addresses. I do know them as the are given in Railsinside’s list. However, on these blogs there are no links to the RSS flow. That is what I am looking for.
@ Radoslav, good idea, Ryan’s blog is awesome. I have added him to the list.
@rimmer333, good idea, I’ll give you the OPML this week.
for hampton catlin:
feed://hamptoncatlin.com/feed/atom.xml
@rimmer333, I have added the OPML file.
Thanks for the idea.
Thx for sharing this great list. I had some of them but surely not all.
Harry, thanks for adding me to the list; I’m surprised you didn’t find my RSS feed on my blog, it’s set in a link tag so your browser should discover it automatically (Firefox, Safari definitely do).
Anyway, it’s http://feeds.feedburner.com/LukeRedpath
@ Luke, thanks so very much for your comment. I did not know this Firefox feature and that explains everything: why some blogs did not have links to syndication and why when they exist the links can be hard to find. The list is now complete.
Enlighting! I wished I had known earlier. That is the nice thing with blogging or sharing you learn a lot. Thanks to the comments I learnt about other links, OPML and now this FF feature. Cool!
