RSSBox

Foreign-language feeds are where good information usually goes to be ignored, and RSSBox fixes that by translating, filtering, and merging RSS sources, then republishing them as clean feeds your existing reader can subscribe to. Add a feed, pick a translation engine, and RSSBox republishes it with titles, full articles, or summaries translated, optionally showing both languages side by side. Each feed can use a different engine, from DeepL to any OpenAI-compatible model endpoint, and the admin shows translation status plus the tokens or characters each source has consumed. Update schedules are set per feed, so a fast-moving news source refreshes hourly while a quiet personal blog checks in once a day. Keyword filters quietly drop the recurring topics you never open, and AI filtering goes further by judging items against what you actually read. Tag several related sources and RSSBox merges them into a single unified feed, translations and filters applied, ready to follow as one stream. Full-text fetching pulls complete article bodies from feeds that only publish excerpts, so the translation covers the whole story rather than the teaser paragraph. Your reader app never changes: it simply subscribes to the translated feed URL like any other source. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.

Benefits

  • Read Feeds Across Languages
  • Subscribe to sources in languages you do not speak and read them in your own, with titles, full text, or summaries translated and an optional bilingual view keeping the original beside the translation.
  • Filters That Cut Noise
  • Keyword rules remove recurring junk topics automatically, and AI filtering judges items by relevance, so a merged feed of twenty sources stays readable instead of becoming an undifferentiated firehose of everything published.
  • Many Sources, One Feed
  • Tag related feeds and merge them into a single subscribable RSS or JSON output, with per-feed update intervals, so your reader shows one clean stream instead of a dozen scattered subscriptions to check.
  • Translation Costs Stay Visible
  • Every feed reports the tokens or characters it consumed, and each source can use its own engine, from DeepL to an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, keeping translation quality and running cost under your control.

Features

  • Feed Translation Engines
  • Translate titles, content, or summaries per feed with DeepL or any OpenAI-compatible model endpoint; different feeds may use different engines and quality settings.
  • Bilingual Feed Display
  • Show original and translated text together in the republished feed, so names, quotes, and technical terms can be checked against the source text instantly.
  • Keyword and AI Filtering
  • Drop items matching keyword rules, or enable AI filtering that scores relevance, applied before republication and combinable with tag-based feed merging.
  • Tag-Based Feed Merging
  • Group multiple sources under a tag and publish them as one unified RSS or JSON feed, with filters and translations applied across the whole merge.
  • Full-Text Feed Fetching
  • Retrieve complete article bodies for excerpt-only feeds, so the translated output contains the entire story rather than a truncated teaser paragraph.
  • Per-Feed Schedules and Usage
  • Set an update frequency per source, inspect translation status, and track the tokens or characters each feed consumed from the admin interface.
