Research direction

Start by reading the linked RSS Rethink article and the rss2imap project to understand the proposed daily aggregation model. The issue does not identify a file, entry point, or test; the work would first need an agreed product direction and a concrete definition of done.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I was reading the piece about RSS Rethink. Something in there:

Subscribe to the nightly email. Read it from top to bottom once a day, instead of in fragments published through the day.

I'm not subscribed to the nightly email, but this is the way I manage my feed. aka one entry a day which collects everything I have written during the day, links I have found etc. entry does not have to reflect the writing process. It's possible to generate the rss entry automatically at the end of the day and aggregating everything which was written.

And honestly it's even less noisy for people, than multiple entries. Maybe some people prefer some atomic feed and some prefer an aggregate.

But be email nightly or RSS a day, it's just the transport which changes? Or is there something else? I'm curious. Thinking out loud The email has the benefits to be everywhere… almost… younger generations have a tendency to veer away from it.

also loosely related it reminded me of rss2imap
