RssAny collectors and config.json setup

RssAny extends through Site collectors + declarative source config. Add new sites without forking the core repo: dozens of built-in .rssany.js files, plus overrides in ~/.rssany/collectors.

Source types

Type	Config highlights	Best for
Site collector	type: "site", collector name	News lists, forums, sites without RSS
RSS/Atom	standard feed URL	Publishers with feeds
IMAP mail	mailbox + folder	newsletters, list mail

config.json sources shape

Each source typically defines:

• id — unique key
• type — site / rss / imap, etc.
• interval — refresh seconds
• proxy — optional
• collector-specific fields (list URL, selectors, …)

After editing config.json sources, scheduling refreshes automatically; items land in SQLite and logs appear in the Web UI.

Custom collectors

1. Drop my-source.rssany.js into ~/.rssany/collectors/.
2. Implement list fetch + detail parsing (see built-ins and collectors.md).
3. Reference the collector name in config.json sources.

Pipeline & outputs

Parsed items run through the fixed pipeline (tagging, translation, …); toggle LLM steps in config.json. Then publish via:

• Subscriptions: RSS / JSON Feed
• Integrations: JSON API, MCP

See pipeline on the home page.
