In Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (December 2025)The way I have made RSS more fun is by adding local LLM functionalities[0] and push notifications. (that can notify me when something I expect to happen, happens)

1 points · Open discussionAs per LLM-driven feed, check the Analyst feature in Matcha rss reader which generates simple MD files and you have more control.

In Reading RSS content is a skilled activityYou can do that with the Analyst feature of Matcha RSS.[1] Just write to the prompt what you want back from Analyst feeds. Disclaimer: its my own tool.

In Reading RSS content is a skilled activityThe way I have addressed this is using my own tool [1] which creates daily digests instead (MD files with date). This removes the stress to check everything or having hundreds of unread, I care only about the current day. If I get some time, say on the weekend, I could go in previous days and check if I skipped. I think its a better trade off than having so many unread stories that grow over time.

In Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?I cram everything that has an RSS feed into https://kindle4rss.com/ where I can read the feeds daily as an ebook on my kindle (including HN Best). WhatsApp / Telegram cover my "real-time" needs. Most important for me is to have digital wellbeing limits configured for social media.
Recently stumbled upon https://github.com/piqoni/matcha which is a Go RSS reader with a GPT-3 option for summarizing certain RSS feeds.

"Hosting" is as easy as executing the binary file. :)
You can read the feeds in any markdown reader (such as Obsidian) or Terminal.
In RSS Readers That You Can Self HostInitially I used Mailbrew, but for the last 5 months I've been happily using my own open-source tool through Obsidian: https://github.com/piqoni/matcha
It is a daily digest and supports also terminal mode.
