I think you mean DEAL - singular. Also, there are several apps out there that can notify you of the current offering. Not sure how an RSS feed is any more convenient over just going to the webpage, but it's nice to have choices, I guess.
@shawn could also consider putting it on the pretty common, "how did you get to meh?" charts as its own entry. You know, to remind Generation AA that RSS is a thing.
@shawn Don't know too much about how to actually implement this, but we need autodiscovery. Some googling gave me this: http://www.petefreitag.com/item/384.cfm A link on the main page would be killer too.
@kazriko Hrm. I wonder if it's just by http referer [sic] then. My Feedly link has "utm_medium=rss" in it, and I thought maybe that's how they're keeping track, but then I guess reddit isn't necessarily nice enough to include a custom querystring. But I really shouldn't count as "just typed meh.com". I didn't. Their RSS did. Metaphorically speaking. So my suggestion remains. "X% of those we said just typed meh.com didn't just type meh.com. You likely used some sort of rss reader."
I just added the feed to my reader, (and I don't know if it is just my reader) but only the last photo in the set is presented. Since it is always the "joke" photo it makes the RSS feed much more interesting.
@Willijs3 This was actually a happy accident. When I built the RSS feed I was trying for the first photo in the gallery but messed up the code. I saw the last photo in my feed reader and decided that would be way more fun.
I think I finally found it here: https://meh.com/deals.rss
Weird that I had to use AltaVista to search the intrawebs in order to find it

I discovered the RSS feed back on November 4, 2014 and created a forum thread about it here: https://meh.com/forum/topics/new-rss-feed
If you typed in RSS into the forum search engine, you could have found many other threads about it.

@JeremyMeh what would have made it easier to discover we already had an RSS feed?
@shawn You could include it in the faq here: https://meh.com/forum/topics/faq
@shawn could also consider putting it on the pretty common, "how did you get to meh?" charts as its own entry. You know, to remind Generation AA that RSS is a thing.
@cengland0 Good idea: https://meh.com/forum/topics/faq#q-do-you-have-an-rss-feed-im-not-a-16yearold-so-i-dont-use-twitter-53a35376a524791409298487

@vdeogmer Good idea. We added RSS Autodiscovery.
@stinks Newsblur appears on the "how did you get to meh" list quite frequently, and it's an RSS reader.

You know, when I want to find a site's RSS feed, I usually just view source, then search for "rss" and it typically appears, as it did for meh.com.
