Hacker News Reader

Comment by NoboruWataya | Hacker News Reader

Does anyone use (or know of) software that follows RSS feeds and sends you a single daily/weekly/whatever digest with links to all new posts? TinyTinyRSS has this functionality which I am currently using but it's not very pretty or configurable - I'm wondering if there is anything else that I could look into.

Doesn't do a digest (at least not that I'm aware of), but rss2email[1] does a good job of aggregating feed updates into your email inbox.

Or if course you can filter the messages into a folder to browse when you have some downtime. For example I have a "Not Important" folder in my email client that doesn't notify but it's always synced to my phone so that I can read some news when I have a spare moment.

I am building something like this! It's oriented specifically towards reading the feeds via a pdf digest on eReaders like the reMarkable/Supernote/etc though.

1. configure your feeds (RSS/Atom, but also Twitter/Reddit) in a simple dashboard 2. connect Google Drive (Dropbox/OneDrive to be supported eventually) 3. on a daily schedule, a pdf file with your feeds' content will be sent to your GDrive account, which can be synced on your tablet device.

Hi, maybe my tool "static feed reader" might be of interest: https://codeberg.org/bitkeks/static-feed-reader

It basically reads a list of feed URLs, with categories, loads and parses them and writes out a simple HTML page with the headlines. Saves me a lot of trouble - just run it on a web server and publish the created HTML files in a directory.

Been using https://feedmail.org/ to do exactly this.

I'm also working on a tool to do this: https://github.com/ZacharyTalis/rss-digest-flask/

Though I'm running into a stubborn issue where FreshRSS doesn't parse the date correctly... so your mileage may vary.

You might be able to get what you need with IFTTT or Zapier. They have email digests and support RSS triggers.

I wrote my own program that submits new RSS entries to my todoist account once each night.
