This repository is inspired by: https://github.com/ofou/graham-essays

It exposes all the essays as an RSS feed and can be hosted, for example, on a server.

I use it to get notified of new essays automatically and use this with my RSS reader.

The official RSS feed on the website: https://paulgraham.com/rss.html is broken.
