- Show HN: Folo – an RSS reader that summarizes timeline and sends daily AI digest
I’ve used RSS heavily for years (and maintain RSSHub https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24213682 ). I love the control RSS gives, but the “1,000+ unread” problem is real, and most readers don’t help with discovery or filtering noise.
So I built Folo, a modern open-source RSS reader ( 36k stars on GitHub: https://github.com/RSSNext/Folo ) that adds optional AI features without taking control away:
What it does:
- Timeline summaries: Daily “TL;DR” of everything new. https://cdn.follow.is/onboarding/3.1.mp4
- Building Your Own RSS Feed Subscription Management & AI Large Model Reading Workflow with n8n
Some friends might wonder why I don't use powerful software like Folo or Inoreader that can conveniently process RSS information sources. The reason is that I want to minimize opening additional software and still easily extract the information I want. So I send the processed information to instant messaging software groups like Telegram and DingTalk that I frequently open. The message display capabilities of current IM software are also quite good, and the search functionality is basically sufficient, so I don't need to build a lot of features myself.

- Ask HN: Which RSS reader do you use?
I was dissatisfied with the available RSS readers, so I wrote my own called Follow https://follow.is . It addresses several key issues I faced:
- Optimized display for images, videos, audio, and notifications
- Specialized optimization for RSSHub, allowing subscriptions to thousands of websites that don't offer RSS, such as X, Instagram, and Telegram
- AI-powered translation, summaries, and a daily important news summary
- Next Generation Information Browser
- Hacker News RSS
