Frequently Asked Questions about blogwatcher

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I track blog updates automatically with RSS feeds and OPML?▼

To track blog updates automatically, the system monitors RSS/Atom feeds and OPML subscriptions, auto-discovers feed URLs, and manages article read/unread states. You add a blog via the CLI and run a scan to fetch new articles.

What is the best way to bulk import blog subscriptions from an OPML file?▼

The best way to bulk import blog subscriptions is using the OPML import feature, which processes standard OPML files to add multiple RSS/Atom feeds at once. This allows personal knowledge workers and teams to quickly scale their monitoring lists.

How does automatic feed discovery work when a blog has no RSS link?▼

Automatic feed discovery works by detecting RSS/Atom feeds from blog homepages when a feed URL is missing. When RSS/Atom feeds are unavailable or incomplete, it falls back to HTML scraping to extract article updates directly from the page.

Can I manage read and unread article states across multiple monitored blogs?▼

Yes, you can manage read and unread article states across multiple monitored blogs. The system tracks article status and allows you to filter articles by specific blog or category, ensuring you never miss updates while keeping your feed organized.

Do I need Docker to deploy and run blog feed monitoring?▼

No, Docker is not strictly required to deploy and run blog feed monitoring. The system offers flexible deployment methods, allowing you to use the CLI directly or run it via Docker for consistent team workflows.

Why use HTML scraping as a fallback for RSS feed monitoring?▼

HTML scraping is used as a fallback for RSS feed monitoring when feeds are unavailable or incomplete. This ensures continuous tracking of blog updates even on sites that do not publish standard RSS or Atom feeds, preventing missed articles.
