Which RSS feeds are compatible?
To make your RSS feed compatible with Aboard, please follow these rules:
- put your images in
<img>tags inside the<description>tag of your XML tree; - use images at least 400 x 300px wide;
- there is no item count limitation, but 10 or more is better for the users.
Then report an issue with your feed URL so I can add it to Aboard.

About Aboard
The project was first created in two days as a personal challenge. It was initially running on AngularJS and a simple Google Spreadsheet (using the Google Spreadsheet to JSON API and the Google Feed API).
On november 2015, Google closed its Feed API and Aboard couldn't fetch RSS anymore. I took the opportunity to redesign Aboard with some improvements I had noted in background until then, and give a try at Vue.js.
