Frequently Asked Questions about blogwatcher

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically discover and track RSS feeds from blog homepages?▼

To automatically discover RSS feeds, blogwatcher scans blog homepages to find feed URLs without requiring explicit links. It then indexes articles and manages read/unread status for centralized tracking.

Can I import existing RSS subscriptions using an OPML file?▼

Yes, you can bulk import your existing RSS subscriptions using an OPML file. Importing OPML allows you to quickly add multiple blogs and feeds into the tracking system at once.

What is the best way to track blog updates when an RSS or Atom feed is unavailable?▼

When an RSS or Atom feed is unavailable, the best way to track blog updates is using HTML scraping fallback. Blogwatcher extracts content directly from the webpage to index new articles.

How do I manage read and unread articles across multiple tracked blogs?▼

You can manage read and unread articles across multiple blogs by scanning tracked sites to surface new content. The tool maintains a persistent read/unread status for centralized visibility.

Do I need Docker to run blogwatcher for long-term feed tracking?▼

Docker is not strictly required but blogwatcher is Docker-friendly with persistent storage. Using Docker ensures your indexed articles and read/unread status are preserved for long-term tracking.

Can I configure feed tracking using environment variables?▼

Yes, you can configure feed tracking using environment-variable configuration. This allows you to customize scanning behavior and manage settings without modifying the core CLI installation.
