What Hacker News says?

  1. Looks like this is a WordPress site, and the HTML source does contain: <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title=" &raquo; Feed" href="https://anandsanwal.me/feed/" /> So I'd assume that https://anandsanwal.me/feed/ is indeed the RSS feed. IIRC, /feed/ is what WordPress uses for that purpose.
