How it works

• When a feed is added using the CLI interface, it is added to a database
• The program periodically checks the urls in the database for new feeds via a cron job after the last_fetched time in the DB feed table
• If new posts are found, each post is sent to the email specified in the config file

How to use

• Clone this repository
• Install dependencies specified in pyproject.toml
• To use this program, you need a Fastmail account and the ability to generate an API token
• Store the token in a config file (see example_config.json)
• Run the initdb command in the CLI, and then add some feeds
• Set up a cronjob to run main.py periodically, or just run it manually once a day
