Enhance Your Reading Experience with a Personalized Book-Focused RSS Feed
Discover a new way to stay inspired and informed about your favorite books with a custom RSS feed powered by AI. Welcome to Brian RSS—a project dedicated to delivering bite-sized, insightful content from your reading list straight to your preferred feed reader, complete with audio summaries for on-the-go listening.
Introducing Brian RSS
Developed over recent weeks, Brian RSS is an innovative tool that creates a tailored news feed centered around your selected books. Each day, it randomly samples a section of a book from your list, generating a brief summary or insight. To make the experience even more engaging, each entry is accompanied by an audio recording, transforming your daily reading snippets into a mini-podcast.
Did you know? The name ‘Brian’ is an anagram of ‘🧠 brain’—a fitting nod to the intelligent curation behind the feed.
Core Features
- Personalized content: Upload your reading list and receive curated summaries or insights from random sections of each book.
- Audio integration: Listen to concise recordings of each entry, perfect for commutes or busy days.
- Daily updates: The feed refreshes automatically every morning at 6 AM UTC.
- Self-hosted solution: Built to run seamlessly via Docker, ensuring data privacy and control.
My initial intent was to craft this tool for my own use, but I eventually decided to open-source it, allowing fellow book enthusiasts to benefit from it. Experience the feed firsthand at brian.achris.me/rss.
