[crssnt](https://crssnt.com/) is an open-source RSS feed generator for Google Sheets. With crssnt, you can create your own custom RSS feed from any data source that you can get displayed in a (public) Google Sheet:

- existing RSS feeds
- websites and APIs
- data from manual input
- data from Sheets add-ons
- etc.


## Quickstart

The easiest way to generate an RSS feed with crssnt is to add `https://crssnt.com/preview/` to the beginning of your public Google Sheet URL, like this:

```
https://crssnt.com/preview/https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wgHZMH8-kQsC0z38mnrfGpR1cgQE7yu2kUQB9On9iJw
```
There is more details in this [blog post](https://www.notion.so/tgel0/Start-here-crssnt-101-how-to-get-started-043e0a6913a84fea8165e4fe83659258).

## Data Privacy

No personal data is being stored while using the crssnt feed generator. Some general usage data such as date and time of the request as well as the underlying Google Sheet ID are stored for analytics purposes. You can disable the Sheet ID logging by adding `&logging=false` to the end of the crssnt feed URL.
