你是否遇到这些问题: 1. 信息太多,自己关注的信息被不重要、广告等信息淹没 2. 信息来源太多,微信、知乎、掘金、博客等,切换起来很麻烦 3. 文章太长,阅读起来很费力 阅牍就是为了解决这些问题。 首先介绍一下RSS,RSS是一种内容聚合协议,支持RSS的内容平台可以让用户订阅它们的信息,通过RSS,用户可以掌控自己信息来源的质量。 阅牍希望在用户订阅信息之后,完成信息的解析和过滤,用户特别关注的内容进行「聚焦」阅读。目前包括两种过滤方式:第一种是特别关注某个订阅源,第二种是特别关注关键词。 随着AI能力越来越强,阅牍希望通过AI能力自动对「聚焦」内容进行摘要,进一步减轻用户的阅读压力。 RSS是一个古老的概念,但更是一个迷人的概念,作者本人是RSS的拥趸。希望阅牍可以让更多人了解和喜欢RSS,让RSS焕发新的魅力。 有任何建议或反馈请联系作者:luosen92@outlook.com
