I was a bit annoyed the other day that some of the Subversion repositories out there don’t have a way to send a notification to interested parties when a new change is made. There are a few other services on the web that claim to do this but when I went looking I didn’t have much luck using any of them. Since I am not one to shrink from a challenge that can’t be solved by a little bit of coding I threw a new Subversion feed service together in a couple of hours. About a quarter of that was spent trying to get the CSS on the homepage right.
If it gets any use at all (besides me) I might add some additional features to track which projects are being watched the most and other interesting features of the repositories. If you have any great ideas you can hand them over to me in the comments

That’s super handy!!! Thank you very much!
Is this tool open sourced? I’d be interested in using this internally here at work for my s/w project.
It’s a great little tool – good work! A couple of suggestions:
* Have an option to include the diff in the RSS feed itself. This would be more server-intensive for the SVN server, so you’d wanna ensure that your caching is up to snuff.
* Make the display of the diffs at http://svnfeed.com/svn2rss/diff a little more user friendly. For example, this is how Trac does it: http://open.silverstripe.com/changeset/62484
Thanks for this really useful website, we’ve been using it over at the LaTeX project. (Well, I have, at the very least.) Has the svnfeed.com site been down for a little while, though?
Indeed it was down. I need to put some monitoring in place. It should be up again now.
Thanks,
Sam

It looks as though the svn feed website is down again.
