RSSgate: a self-hosted RSS reader with an LLM in the loop
RSSgate turns RSS feeds and selected web pages into a locally hosted reading stream, using an LLM to transcribe articles and strip ads and boilerplate.
- For
- Self-hosters who want an LLM-digested RSS reader
- Worth noticing
- It says identical article bodies hit a hash cache for zero-token reuse, while token use is logged per call.
Field notes
The page describes an endless reverse-chronological stream that resumes where the reader left off, with feed-level unread counts and a date picker for returning to earlier material. Feed items can come from RSS/Atom XML or extracted links on a bare page; the auto-detection flow checks candidate feeds before offering one. The author reports a substantial reduction in digest time and output tokens on their own hardware, while noting the comparison was on that setup.
