Really clever workflow — I like how this uses the YouTube RSS feed instead of API keys, keeping it simple and lightweight. The 6-hour schedule and clean grid layout make it feel seamless for anyone maintaining a GitHub profile. Definitely going to try this automation on my own projects 🔄🔥

Thank you! If you have any similar automations in mind, let me know, and I'd love to create them...

That’s awesome, Eleftheria! 🙌 I actually have a few small automation ideas related to SEO and content publishing workflows — happy to share if you’re interested!

Eleftheria Batsou • Oct 18

Yeah, sure! Feel free to share them.

Awesome! 😄 One of the things I’ve been experimenting with is an AI tool I built called BusinessAdBooster — it automates content generation for small businesses (like SEO posts, FAQs, and blogs) using custom workflows.
I’ve been thinking of integrating it with GitHub Actions for automated publishing — would love to hear your take on that idea!

That sounds like a great idea. I don't know the structure of it so I'm not sure how much help I can offer... but if you want you can import your project here cosine.sh (it's free - you only need an account) and prompt it with exactly what you want, let it work, and test the results...

Thanks, Eleftheria! 🙏 I’ll definitely check out cosine.sh — sounds interesting for testing automation workflows.
BusinessAdBooster currently runs custom AI content pipelines, so experimenting with integrations like that could be super useful. Appreciate the tip!

This is a fantastic solution. I love the elegance and simplicity of the approach, especially using the public RSS feed to avoid the complexity of tokens and APIs.

This is more than just a neat README trick; it's a perfect example of a DevOps mindset applied to our own personal brand: automating to maintain consistency and eliminate manual toil. It's a microcosm of what we strive for in large-scale systems.

Thinking from a mission-critical systems perspective, the natural next step that comes to mind is adding a small health check. For instance, a simple notification (perhaps to a Slack or Discord channel) if the script fails repeatedly or the RSS feed is unavailable. It ensures our own automation doesn't become a blind spot.

Thanks for sharing such a practical and well-explained walkthrough.
