The zero-dependency approach is what sold me on it. I needed to add an RSS feed to a static site and every other option either required React, a backend proxy, or pulled in 200KB of libraries for something that should be simple. RSS Feed Widget is under 7KB and works with a single script tag. I dropped it into my page, pointed it at my feed URL, and had a working card grid in about two minutes. The image support from v1.1.0 made a noticeable difference visually. If your RSS feed has enclosure tags with images, the widget picks them up automatically and renders them as card thumbnails. Before that update the cards were text-only and looked plain compared to what you see on modern content platforms. Dark mode detecting system preferences without any extra configuration was a nice surprise. I did not have to write a single line of CSS to make it match my site's dark theme. The category filter buttons are auto-generated from the feed's categories, which means I never have to update the UI when I add new content categories. Performance has been solid. The widget loads fast even on slower connections because there is no framework overhead. The skeleton loading animation keeps the page from jumping around while the feed is being fetched, which is a small detail that makes the whole experience feel polished. The built-in XSS sanitization is something I would not have thought about until it became a problem. Since RSS feeds can contain arbitrary HTML from external sources, having that handled automatically gives me confidence embedding third-party feeds without worrying about security.
