Introducing Brian RSS: Your Personalized Book-Centric RSS Feed
Are you passionate about reading and eager to discover new insights from your favorite books? We’re excited to showcase a innovative project designed to bring tailored book summaries and audio snippets directly to your feed — perfect for busy individuals seeking quick inspiration and knowledge.
What is Brian RSS?
Brian RSS is a custom-made RSS feed generator that harnesses artificial intelligence to deliver daily curated content centered around the books you love. Whether you want bite-sized summaries, thought-provoking insights, or a quick audio overview, this tool has you covered. Additionally, each entry is converted into an audio file, allowing you to listen on the go, much like your own personal podcast.
Why the name?
The project’s name, Brian, is an anagram of “🧠 brain,” symbolizing its focus on intelligent, informative content tailored to your reading interests.
Key Features
- Personalized Content Generation: Upload your reading list and receive summaries or intriguing sections extracted directly from your selected books.
- Automated Daily Updates: The feed refreshes every morning at 6 AM UTC, ensuring fresh content whenever you start your day.
- Audio Companion: Each post is converted into audio, enabling easy listening during commutes or workouts.
- Fully Self-Hosted: Run it locally on your server using Docker containers for maximum control and privacy.
Origins and Open Source
Designed initially for personal use, I later decided to share this project with the wider community by making it open source. You can explore the project on GitHub and see it in action through my personal RSS feed at brian.achris.me/rss.
Your Feedback Matters
To improve Brian RSS further, I’d love to hear your thoughts on:
- Is the setup process described clearly?
- What additional features or customization options would enhance your experience?
- Are there specific functionalities you’d like to see in future updates?
