RSS and Atom sources

Add public publication feeds and manage them across reading lists.

Sources follow public RSS or Atom feeds. They are best for publications that already expose a stable feed URL.

Add a source

  1. Open Sources.
  2. Select Add source.
  3. Enter a descriptive name.
  4. Paste the publication's public RSS or Atom URL.
  5. Save the source.

The URL must be publicly reachable and return a valid feed. Public feeds are normally accepted immediately unless the security checks identify a concrete network or abuse risk.

Screenshot to add — Add a source: Capture the form with a public example feed and a neutral source name.

What becomes a chapter

When a feed entry contains complete article HTML, eReader Relay sanitizes and uses it. When it contains only a short summary, eReader Relay may fetch the linked public article and use that when it produces a better readable result.

The first edition for a source includes the latest existing entry. Later editions include entries newer than that reading list's cursor, with a bounded number of entries per run.

Use a source in several lists

The same source can belong to multiple reading lists. Each list keeps its own progress, schedule, and destinations.

Remove a source

Removing a source also removes it from every reading list. Existing EPUBs are not changed. If a list would no longer have any inputs, add another feed or observed newsletter before saving its next edit.

For rejected or unreadable feeds, see Feed troubleshooting.
