Follow the journal, quietly

The ipe() journal now has an RSS feed: follow new entries in the reader of your choice, with no account and no sign-up.
RSS is an old, plain idea: a site publishes the list of its newest entries as a small file, and your reader checks it when you ask it to. No account, no algorithm deciding what you see, no notification that interrupts you.
What the feed contains
Our feed lives at https://ipe.rest/journal/feed.xml. It lists the entries in English, newest first, and only those that are already published. Journal pages also announce it in their head, so most readers can find it if you simply paste ipe.rest/journal/.
The entries are written in English and Korean, and each is available in 12 languages on the site. The feed carries the English title and summary and links to the English page; the other languages are one click away from each entry.
It is a single, plain RSS 2.0 file, nothing more. An entry dated in the future is left out until its day arrives, so everything you see in your reader is something you can open and read right now. The feed is regenerated together with the site, so it never drifts away from the pages it points to.
How to follow it
Any feed reader will do; we don’t run one and we don’t recommend a particular one. In most readers you choose “add feed” or “subscribe” and paste either the feed address above or simply the journal address, ipe.rest/journal/. With the journal address, the reader looks for the feed announced in the page head and fills in the rest.
From then on the reader does the checking. When you open it or refresh it, new entries appear in your list; when nothing new has been published, nothing happens. There is nothing to confirm by e-mail and nothing to cancel later: if you stop wanting the entries, you remove the feed from your reader and that is the end of it.
Why we bother
A journal is only useful if the next entry can be found without anyone chasing you. Most of what we write is slow: notes on the music, the name, and how a small studio works with AI, which we say openly. Entries like that don’t need a notification. They need a place to wait until you have a minute, and a feed is exactly that. If you would rather not use a reader at all, nothing is lost: the list at ipe.rest/journal/ shows every entry, and the newest ones also appear on the home page.
It fits how we like to work: a quiet thing that waits to be read. Open it when you have a minute.
