I don't think the deals page has an RSS feed ,i did look but couldn't see one pop up in my Firefox bookmarking tool-bar .
Is there a good way to make sure i get notifications for things like Humblebundle and other stuff that pops up here.
I've been using the Brief addon as an RSS feeder.

I was asking because i missed getting in early on the new humble bundle .

You can use https://isthereanydeal.com/ for a personalized RSS feed. This will inform you about bundles and your wishlisted games being on sale. It isn't very fast with those news though.

Thx. ,i didn't think to check that site for RSS.
yeh , these sites are only as fast as the person maintaining them.
Probably best to sub to as many as poss.

edit:
strange ,it's greyed out when i go to 'bookmarks - "sub to this page" in the Firefox menu (using the Brief addon).

\r\gamedeals would be your best bet.

I also use ITTT for notifications, but it's somehow a bit off.

I found a way to make RSS for the Deals forum specifically.

https://rss-bridge.org/bridge01/
This is an official RSS-Bridge instance. It is a software that offers bridges (custom generated rss) for services without a feed. It has a lot of bridges for social networks, but also provides a bridge that you can use on any site: CSS Selector Bridge. This is the RSS feed link I was able to create there: https://rss-bridge.org/bridge01/?action=display&bridge=CssSelectorBridge&home_page=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.steamgifts.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fdeals%2Fsearch%3Fsort%3Dnew&url_selector=.table__rows+%3E+.table__row-outer-wrap+%3E+.table__row-inner-wrap+%3E+.table__column--width-fill&url_pattern=&content_selector=.comment__description&content_cleanup=&title_cleanup=&limit=25&format=Atom

CSS Selector Bridge settings that I used to get that link:

Site URL: Home page with latest articles
https://www.steamgifts.com/discussions/deals/search?sort=new

Selector for article links or their parent elements
.tablerows > .tablerow-outer-wrap > .tablerow-inner-wrap > .tablecolumn--width-fill

[Optional] Pattern for site URLs to keep in feed:
(leave empty)

[Optional] Selector to expand each article content:
.comment__description

[Optional] Content cleanup: List of items to remove:
(leave empty)

[Optional] Text to remove from expanded article title:
(leave empty)

Limit:
25
(it hangs on 100, which is the max visible posts per forum page here)

You probably can do a feed from any forum category here, but don't forget to sort by New before copying the URL.

RSS-Bridge is primarily a self-hosted service, so I'm not sure how stable is its free instance. You can also try other instances https://rss-bridge.github.io/rss-bridge/General/Public_Hosts.html, or self-host it on your server/pc.

You can also try using other services to pass this feed to discord/telegram/wherever you like.

I also plan to create a telegram channel from this feed for my personal usage, I can make it public in the future, but not sure where to get a permission here.
