I deGoogled (for the most part I still use Youtube, but via unwatched) years ago one thing I missed was Google news, sure I had reddit to stay up on some of the local stories but I stopped using that last year, and local Lemmy is not quite as active. So I needed to find a way to emulate the Google News emails I have now done it I have vibe coded with Claude to get a lot of my news sent to me from my pi!
Can I ask why not RSS?
RSS feeds seem like the obvious replacement—how is your vibe-coded solution better?
It searches multiple places and does not include things in previous emails, or stories in more than one outlet. Yes RSS would be easier but that is multiple streams.
What do you mean by RSS being “multiple streams”? How does your Python script search multiple places?
RSS combines multiple feeds into one, like this: https://feed.lovergne.dev/demo/
My scripts work together to find news stories in different RSS feeds and web pages combines them all together and than emails stuff to me, the same news stories should not show up in different emails.
Kind of like an RSS feed reader does. It collects articles from different rss feeds and presents them to you in one place.
So instead of giving Google your data, you’re giving it to Claude. How is this any better?
It is a python script that runs on my pi, Claude just helped me fix my errors and replicate it.
Did you write an app or is it running via a Claude routine?
I wrote python scripts that run on my pi
At some point, telling people about your vibe coding is kinda sorta as interesting as hearing about someone else’s dreams.
