Discovering Your Next Favorite Book with a Personalized RSS Feed
Are you passionate about reading and enthusiastic about discovering new insights from your favorite books? Today, I’m excited to introduce a project that can transform your reading journey—perfectly tailored to your interests and designed to keep you inspired daily.
Introducing Brian RSS: Your Custom Book Summary and Audio Feed
Developed over recent weeks, Brian RSS is an innovative RSS feed generator powered by Artificial Intelligence. It curates daily content based on your chosen reading list, offering succinct summaries or intriguing insights from specific sections of your selected books. Additionally, each entry is transformed into an audio recording, enabling you to listen to bite-sized book snippets—much like a personalized podcast episode.
Why Name It Brian?
For a touch of fun, the name “Brian” is an anagram of 🧠 “brain,” symbolizing intelligence and learning.
The core aim of this tool is to provide quick, engaging content that motivates you to delve deeper into your current reads or explore entirely new topics during your free moments.
Key Features of Brian RSS:
– Tailored to your reading list by extracting random sections and generating insightful summaries
– Converts each summary into an accessible audio file for on-the-go listening
– Automatically updates every morning at 6 AM UTC, so your inspiration is fresh daily
– Fully self-hosted with Docker, ensuring control and security over your data
Initially developed for personal use, I’ve now decided to share this project with the community as open source. You can experience its capabilities by visiting my personal feed at brian.achris.me/rss.
I’d love to hear your feedback!
Specifically, I’m interested in your thoughts on:
– Clarity of the setup instructions in the README
