rag VS MonitoRSS

It's called Rag, and you can try it out here - if you're a developer, you can check out the repo here.

I used Newsboat as a feed reader for some time, but I wanted to be able to access my feeds on my phone and other devices. I created Rag with Supabase, React and Go, using go-readability to bypass paywalls you'd otherwise encounter opening articles from your feed, and instead allowing you to read the article in-app.

I love RSS. I take a bit of an unconventional approach and use Discord as my RSS reader. I run a self hosted instance of MonitoRSS (https://github.com/synzen/MonitoRSS). I have a server with just me and my bot instance and I tend to group my feeds into categories and channels (effectively creating a tab system per subscription or group of subscriptions). I have Discord installed on my laptop, phone, and desktop so this means that I can easily look at all my subscribed feeds wherever it's convenient for me. When I'm not set to "do not disturb", I even get push notifications on my devices when content is posted to feeds that go to channels I haven't muted. I think the only real downside of the setup is some days I am very busy and don't check the server that often, so I'll come back to a large backlog of things to read and I'll end up missing or under-appreciating some gems.

i have been using monitoRSS and its done well tbh

That bot is used in nearly 70 thousand servers, and is open source. You can probably trust it, the things its asking for (identify and guilds) are quite common with bot dashboards, so I wouldn't be too worried about it.

I remember the dev said that he had plans to implement that feature with this RSS bot but he doesn't have an ETA. At least according to a reply he made two months ago in that discord support channel. Otherwise it's a very fine RSS bot.

As long as the site supports RSS, you can use this bot called MonitoRSS. If for some reason, you'd like to try a different bot, I recommend top.gg for browsing for more options.

Monitor-RSS with rss-bridge Monitor-RSS allows me to filter RSS feeds obtained from rss-bridge with keywords and let's me embed them to discord. I mainly use xpath on rss-bridge to scrape sports news (fantasy football injuries) and add those feeds to Monitor-RSS that allows to filter them by player names or anything specific I am interested in. Sending those filtered feeds to Discord results in easy reading and manage them via discord tag or channel notifications. This way I get notified for stuff I am interested in and ignore anything not relevant 😎

And by using a bot like MonitoRSS you can get all updates within your discord server directly.

How does this compare to MonitoRSS?

I set up my own RSS feeds for a couple of things and use MonitoRSS to get feeds into channels.
