I am curious. Why don't you use the RSS feeds directly with, for example, SimplePie or SimpleXML, instead of running them through a third party service for conversion to JSON? 🤔
Actually, the php package is a conversion of my JS package github.com/arifszn/blog.js. In the JS package, didn't want to install additional library and used the third party service.
