FAQPage Schema
How do I track RSS and Atom feed updates across multiple blogs?

To track RSS and Atom feed updates, you can add blog URLs or direct feed links and scan them for new articles. The system monitors updates, filters by category, and maintains a clean unread queue for reading management.

Can I import OPML files to bulk subscribe to blog feeds?

Yes, you can import OPML files to bulk subscribe to blog feeds. You provide your OPML file, and the system automatically discovers RSS or Atom feeds from the included homepage URLs to establish your monitoring queue.

What is the best way to manage unread articles from RSS feeds?

The best way to manage unread articles is using a tracked reading queue that scans for new posts. You can mark items read or unread, filter by specific blog or category, and surface the newest posts on demand.

Does blog feed monitoring work with SQLite for local persistence?

Yes, blog feed monitoring works with SQLite for local persistence. The system stores your added sources, article data, and read status in a local SQLite database, ensuring your reading progress is retained across sessions.

How do I add a new blog and scan it for new posts?

To add a new blog and scan for posts, you provide the homepage or feed URL through the command-line interface. The system discovers the feed, scrapes for articles, and populates your unread queue with the latest content.

Why does my RSS feed discovery fail on some blog homepages?

RSS feed discovery can fail if a homepage lacks standard feed tags or blocks automated access. In these cases, the system applies an HTML scraping fallback to locate the feed, though severely restricted sites may still block monitoring.
