Project Summary

This project provides a curated, ad-free news feed by collecting top headlines and links from various RSS sources using GitHub Actions. It aims to combat information silos and broaden users' knowledge base, targeting individuals seeking a more diverse and informed information diet.

How It Works

The project leverages GitHub Actions to periodically fetch the latest articles from a predefined list of RSS feeds. It then extracts the title and URL of each article, highlighting newly published content with a special marker. These curated headlines are compiled into a daily digest, which is then distributed via email.
