AI Analysis

●●SolidCozyBig BrainNiche Gem

Cross-feed dedup with title-fingerprinting solves RSS duplication nobody else tackles.

Strengths
  • Canonical URL + title-fingerprint clustering collapses syndicated stories intelligently.
  • Rules engine with preview button counts matches before you commit to saving.
  • AI truly optional via environment variable with zero code paths running when disabled.
Weaknesses
  • Self-hosted RSS readers already exist with Miniflux, FreshRSS, and Tiny Tiny RSS.
  • Single Go binary is nice but adds ~25 MB when lighter readers exist.
