Question 1

What is RssAny?

Accepted Answer

RssAny is a self-hosted pipeline for curating information sources in content production and news workflows. It fetches web lists, RSS/Atom, and IMAP mail, parses and enriches items, deduplicates into SQLite, then publishes RSS/Atom/JSON feeds, JSON API, and MCP for editorial and distribution tools.

Question 2

Which source types are supported?

Accepted Answer

Dozens of built-in Site plugins (.rssany.js), standard RSS/Atom feeds, and email sources. Drop custom plugins in ~/.rssany/plugins and tune refresh intervals and proxies in sources.json.

Question 3

Where is data stored?

Accepted Answer

Items live in SQLite via Node's built-in driver, defaulting to ~/.rssany/data/rssany.db. User config under ~/.rssany/ survives package upgrades.

Question 4

Does it support LLM tagging or translation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Parsing, extraction, tagging, and translation run in the fixed pipeline under app/pipeline/, toggled in config.json with an OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

Question 5

How do I install and run it?

Accepted Answer

Run npm install -g rssany, then rssany and open http://127.0.0.1:18473/. From source: pnpm install, pnpm run build:all, pnpm start.
