Smarter RSS Filter

Filter RSS feed with LLM. You can specify topics or content style to include or exclude. It is useful for being more focused on what you care about and avoiding noise. For me personally, it helps to avoid AI FOMO and clickbait.

I switched to RSS reader for my personal news feed a while ago. It’s pretty refreshing to use hronologial feed with only content that I care about. The problem is some of the sources are noisy but still useful. So I made a simple RSS proxy that filters topics that you specify. It’s LLM-based, so it’s a bit smarter than regexp and can detect fuzzy still like clickbait, rageabait. Or, for example, include only news about local LLMs and exclude OpenAI drama.

It acts like a proxy, for RSS feed, you specify the URL and the filter rules, it ecodes everything into query params and you add a new URL to your RSS reader. When the reader fetches a new feed, it will load the original feed, filter it with the rules and return the filtered feed. This way it only loads the content on demand and avoids unnecessary work, deduplication is done on the reader side.
