RSS news reader — curated, not chaotic
SideDigest is an RSS-powered reader without the setup tax. Feeds are pre-mapped to topics; you tune priority and health, not XML URLs.
RSS under the hood
Each topic merges multiple RSS endpoints. The extension fetches directly from publishers (HTTPS only), merges items, and respects time windows so older stories drop off.
Source tools power users appreciate
- Source priority — drag your preferred outlets to the top
- Source health — one-click check which feeds respond right now
- Canonical URLs — legacy feed aliases handled for upgrades
Not a generic RSS manager
If you need arbitrary feed URLs and OPML import, tools like Parssly or SimpleReader may fit better — see our comparison page.
