    i have been using “rss2email” for years. extremely simple, works great, deterministic. no need to reinvent the wheel for a simple use case, and thats half the point here - a lot of “solutions” being found were already solved.

      Isnt this essentially the case by definition? If LLMs can solve a problem it’s only because a human already solved that problem (not that this is any different from what humans do)

      In this scenario it needs to read a 5 day forecast capture key elements and only send the email/ alert the first time and not the following 4 days(if the alert remains the same) so in my previous attempts at RSS reader apps already in existence, they didn’t meet the need.
