Description

Hey! The project is awesome!

I'd like to propose a feature to turn any channel into an RSS feed by adding /rss in the end of the url. It would then return XML document with a feed

Searched the repo and didn't find anyone proposing or mentioning it. I could help implementing the feature if that's something people find useful too

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests, so start by tracing the existing channel-page URL entry point and how channel data is loaded. Confirm the intended /rss response shape and what qualifies as a valid XML feed, then define completion around returning that feed for any channel.
