There's no need to constantly refresh, since a giveaway lasts one hour at least. So you only have to refresh once per hour if you don't want to miss anything. Maybe make it once per 45 minutes to be sure.
But yeah, an RSS feed would be very conventient to have.

Hello, guys I am planning a future for the addon which will auto add new giveaways as they appear. So, you can stay on the new page and new giveaways will popup up. No need to refresh. It should be available in the following days. Keep an eye out for updates the sticky thread.

That'd be easy actually.
His server should look for new giveaways every hour or so, and stores the info. The addon would then query his server, meaning the SteamGifts server doesn't get overloaded with thousands of people scanning for new giveaways.

That steamgifts addon seems to work well, but it still has a small issue that the latest giveaway doesn't register. this means if someone puts up an hour long giveaway, and then nothing new is up within the next hour you miss out. Not a common occurance to be sure, but it does happen in the slower hours.
Would still appreciate some sort of RSS feed to keep up on new giveaways using other browsers or computers.

It's quite annoying having to refresh the home page every time to check for signs of the next hour long bastion giveaway, and i cant imagine it helps the sites speed very much to have lots of people constantly refreshing.Is there a Feed available for new giveaways? and if not is there any chance of getting one?
