  That link goes to a to a forum, which doesn’t have subscriptions. I figured out the answer, though.

  1. I went to the Steam Frame page.
  2. Near the bottom was “Follow Steam Hardware for updates, news, and launch information”.
  3. That page has a “Links” menu with an RSS link.

  Note: if you go to the page in step 2 yourself, the RSS link will likely be in your local language. My link above is in English.

    Any recommendations on rss readers? Do I “need” to self host an aggregator or is that just if I want it cross device? Have yet to use rss and these questions were surprisingly difficult to find with a search

      I just installed Read You from F-Droid.

      I think self-hosting an aggregator lets you keep a cross-platform record of what you’ve read and what not. You mostly just need an app.

  RSS really is the most elegant, easiest, most customizable way to do this. Valve really is the GOAT when it comes to actually treating customers well (and don‘t think of them as dumb).

  Well, that’s a good idea. I haven’t thought about RSS in ages. Like I forgot that was even a thing. I could write a back-end that polls the RSS feed for its last updated date, and if I find something, then notify subscibers. Subscribers like an app someone makes.

  I don’t know much about writing Android apps, but I feel like if I were to write the stupidest one, post it on GitHub, and advertise the project to people, someone will be so offended at its stupidity that they’ll fix it for me.

  I can handle a back-end stuff just fine.
