So my static site generator is largely done* except for RSS feed generation. And now I have a quandary about the RSS. Specifically, the <description> element for each <item> in the feed.
I could make the RSS use the opengraph description if one is set, and fall back on a short excerpt of the page if not set, or I could just include the full page HTML in each <description>.
I would appreciate Opinions!

@JeremiahFieldhaven@mastodon.gamedev.place I often use Feedly search to find old content that I've read before so when RSS feeds don't include the full text of the page they're linking then I often can't find them (unless I happen to search keywords used in the title and excerpt/opening paragraph).
