Upvote RSS is a flexible, open-source tool for generating customizable RSS feeds from discussion platforms such as Reddit, Hacker News, Lemmy, Lobste.rs, PieFed instances, and GitHub activity. It works as a web application (often deployed with PHP or via Docker) that lets users build feeds with rich options — including summaries, scores, comments, and filtering — to tailor what content flows into their feed reader. Upvote-RSS gives fine control over how posts are selected and presented, and supports environment configuration for features like caching or integration with external APIs to enrich the output. Users can preview generated feeds before copying the RSS URL for consumption in any RSS reader, and advanced options allow filtering by posts per day, inclusion of full content, summaries, and comment limits.

This tool was originally written to replace the massive amounts of email sent out by automated build scripts. Once this tool is deployed to a server, your scripts can simply use a HTTP Post to submit events, and users can subscribe to the RSS feed to receive updates, instead of receiving an email for each event. It is trivial to add a new feed, and using http to submit events means that firewalls are (usually) not a concern.
