FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor RSS and Atom feeds for new blog posts automatically?

RSS and Atom feed monitoring detects new blog posts by scanning tracked sites on a schedule. This Skill manages unread articles and syncs read states, removing the need to manually check each blog for updates.

Can I import OPML subscriptions from other feed readers into blog monitoring?

OPML imports bring in bulk subscriptions from common feed readers. This Skill processes the exported OPML files to add multiple blogs and feeds to your tracked library at once.

What happens when a blog does not have an RSS or Atom feed available?

When a feed is unavailable, feed discovery automatically attempts to find one from the homepage. If no feed is detected, the system falls back to HTML scraping to track content updates.

Do I need a local SQLite database to track unread articles across scans?

A local SQLite database is required for persistent tracking of unread articles. This Skill uses it with the blogwatcher-cli command-line tool to store feed data and keep read states synchronized.

How do I organize tracked blogs and review only the newest unread articles?

Library management features let you add, remove, and organize tracked blogs. After scanning for new posts, the system isolates unread articles so you can review the latest content first.
