Experiment with adding new snippets to the RSS feed

Chalarangelo opened this issue · 0 comments

Newly published snippets could be added to the RSS feed with a more descriptive title if necessary to see if they can create increased traffic from RSS consumers (e.g. Daily Dev). A stage 1 experiment for this would be to include React hook snippets which are currently being added to the website and measure the impact of this change.

Experiment outline

  • Increase RSS feed items from 15 to 25.
  • Include React hook snippets published recently (use snippet.language.long === 'React' && snippet.tags.primary === 'Hooks') - can be hardcoded for the time being.
  • Transform snippet title to be more reader-friendly (e.g. useClickOutside would transform to React useClickOutside Hook).
  • Use the rest of the data as usual.

Experiment evaluation

  • Measure traffic to new snippets and how much of that traffic comes from Daily Dev.
  • Evaluate if we should keep and/or expand and formalize the mechanism for the rest of our content.
