Suggestion: RSS for TinyCat Libraries Pointing Back to TCat

I'd love to see an RSS feed for TinyCat that points the patron back to our TinyCat library rather than LibraryThing.

>1 MIGSeattle: Thanks for the feedback. We don't have any current plans along these lines. Can you elaborate a bit more about what you're looking to get out of an RSS feed specifically? I'm not sure what feed you might be using currently that points to LT and not TinyCat.

I cannot find the RSS code on LT currently for some reason for Recently Added, but in action it points the library user back to the LT site for our library rather than to our TCat library. The link LT provided on whatever page that hides on (that I can't find now) does this: https://www.librarything.com/rss/recent/MIGSeattle

Found the link for the RSS on the member profile page. Not really a widget or activity, but I copied the link from that page. It's in the right hand panel, bottom. Would love something similar that points back to the book on TCat, but looks like that's not in this year's plans. Well, as a suggestion that if a library has a TCat, that an RSS to Recently Added would be great so people could subscribe to it in Outlook, etc.

>4 MIGSeattle:
Do you mean the RSS feed on the profile page just above the helper badges?

RSS feeds
Recently-added books
Your library's reviews
Reviews of Your library's books, not including your library's reviews.

We use the one of the widgets on our website, and would love to see TinyCat versions of the widgets at some point.

Are there any status updates on this? We love the Library Thing widget (https://www.librarything.com/widget), but would like to point our users to the item entries in TinyCat rather than directing them to Library Thing. Any information is greatly appreciated - thank you!

>6 BKLib: I'm afraid we don't have a TinyCat blog widget, but we do have a basic TC search widget you can use: https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Sharing_Your_TinyCat_Library. I hope this helps!

Please let me know if there's anything else I can do, Kristi at LibraryThing.
