The problem it solves

If you follow a blog or news feed, you either have to check it manually or get flooded with duplicate updates every time the feed refreshes. Sorting out what's actually new from what you've already seen wastes time.

Who it fits

Anyone following a blog or content feed who wants only genuinely new posts, with the image included, sent their way.

How it works

  1. The system checks a chosen RSS feed for updates
  2. It compares new items against what's already been seen to filter out duplicates
  3. The photo is pulled out from each genuinely new post
  4. The new post and its photo are sent to you as a message
What you get

Posts you never have to go looking for

Get every new post from the feeds you follow delivered straight to you, photo included.

What you get

A message for each new post, complete with its photo, and no repeats.

What you need

An RSS feed source and a messaging account for delivery.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
