I give you Woot2RSS

Yes, I still live in 2010. This is something I’ve wanted ever since woot killed the feeds, so I figured maybe other people might too.

I realized the other day that in the age of AI, I didn’t actually have to learn how any of the technologies needed to do this work, the way I would have when I first wanted to do it. Not that I’m against learning mind you, I’m just busy and this never got to the top of my priority list. But now, I can throw 15$ worth of Claude credits at the problem and have it solved!

Things you should know:

  1. Runs in docker.
  2. You need your own API key
  3. There is no warranty. This was 100% vibe coded by Claude. If you don’t like something, take it up with Anthropic.
  4. There is no support. I don’t really understand how this works, so if it’s not working for you I probably can’t help. If I’m feeling generous and have time I might ask an AI for you.

I tested it, and it seems to work for me. The code might be (probably is) hot garbage, I don’t know. If you want to change something submit a PR. I’ll probably approve it.

Enjoy!
