Can I track read and unread articles across RSS and Atom feeds locally?▼

Yes, you can track read and unread articles by maintaining a local SQLite database that records article statuses, ensuring you can differentiate between new updates and previously reviewed content.

How do I aggregate content from web pages that do not have an RSS feed?▼

You can aggregate content from standard web pages without RSS by using HTML scraping capabilities to extract article updates and store them alongside your tracked feeds in the local database.

What is the best way to automate blog monitoring for research purposes?▼

Automating blog monitoring involves scanning tracked sources for new articles and filtering them by category, which allows researchers to manage dozens of engineering blogs simultaneously without missing updates.

Do I need a specific binary or environment to manage feed updates locally?▼

Yes, managing feed updates requires the blogwatcher-cli binary and a compatible environment to ensure persistent data storage within the local SQLite database for your aggregated content.

Are there limitations when using a local SQLite database for RSS feed monitoring?▼

Using a local SQLite database for RSS feed monitoring limits access to a single local environment, meaning your read and unread tracking data is not automatically synced across multiple devices.
