• Content Inclusion Options: Choose to include full blog post content or a summary, and optionally include featured images in your feed.
• Real-time & Scheduled Updates: Supports real-time feed regeneration on blog post updates/creations/deletions, and scheduled updates (hourly/daily) for efficient content delivery.
• Publicly Accessible: Generates a public web route for easy access to your RSS/Atom feed without authentication.
