blogwatcher

Tracking new articles across RSS and Atom feeds automatically is done by scanning subscribed sources for unread updates. This eliminates manual checking by discovering feeds directly from blog homepages and storing read states in a SQLite database.

Importing OPML files exported from Feedly to bulk subscribe to blogs is fully supported. You can import hundreds of feed subscriptions at once and immediately filter articles by category or read status.

Monitoring blog updates for sites without an RSS feed is handled through an HTML scraping fallback. Customizable selectors extract content reliably from non-standard blog setups when standard feeds are unavailable.

A command-line tool is required to track RSS feeds and manage read state. You must install the prerequisite blogwatcher-cli utility to execute feed scanning, article fetching, and SQLite-backed read filtering operations.

Compiling a daily digest of unread articles from competitor blogs is best handled by filtering tracked feeds by category. The system scans all monitored sources, pulls unread posts matching tags like product updates, and aggregates them without manual site visits.

Automatic feed discovery for blogs works by scanning homepages to locate RSS or Atom links. This eliminates the need to manually find and enter specific feed URLs for most sites you want to track.
