👋 Hi Product Hunt! I'm DIYgod, the creator of Follow and an open-source developer based in Singapore. Over the past decade, I've created and maintained more than 100 open-source projects on GitHub, amassing 67K stars ✨. Yet, none have meant as much to me as Follow 🧡. Six years ago, I launched an open-source project called RSSHub, designed to generate RSS feeds for any website or content. Thanks to continuous maintenance and contributions from over 1,100 community developers 👥, it has evolved into the world's largest RSS network—supporting over 1,200 websites and running on more than 5,000 nodes. While this is a remarkable achievement, I feel there's still more to accomplish. RSSHub caters primarily to geeks 😎, but I envision an information platform accessible to everyone—one that empowers more people to stay informed with ease. That's where Follow comes in. It's not just an RSS reader; it's a customizable information center where anyone can follow their favorite creators and feeds from any platform 🌎. No more jumping between apps or dealing with unwanted noise—just a consistent, streamlined experience. With AI-driven features like translation, summaries, and recent headlines, Follow offers intelligent and efficient browsing. If you're intrigued, please check out our promotional materials, official website, or GitHub repository to learn more 🔗. Follow has gained significant traction on GitHub, boasting over 16K stars and ranking first on GitHub's daily, weekly, and monthly trending repositories 📈. But I don't want it to resonate only with developers. That's why I've brought it to Product Hunt, a community of brilliant product enthusiasts and makers, in hopes of receiving your suggestions and feedback to further refine our product. Currently in its public testing phase 🧪, Follow still has some advanced features—like certain AI functions and the ability to create and share lists—that require an invitation code. If you're interested in diving deeper into Follow or have insights to share, please let me know in the comments 💬. I'll be happy to send you an invitation code. Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions!

@victoria_wu Thank you so much, it uses OpenAI's model GPT-4o mini, and we are also considering allowing users to customize prompts.

@diygod & team congrats on your launch! It seems like you have great ambitions to build one software that combines all sources where you can follow - just curious, are you also planning to include many other sources next to RSS?
DIYgod
@alexanderfarr Thank you for your appreciation. We support various sources, even including email. That's right, you can create an email address in Follow, and any email sent to that address will be added to your timeline. Additionally, we support list features. You can subscribe to lists curated by others or share your own lists with them, as well as new protocols like JSON feed, fediverse, and more.

@diygod congrats for the launch! I’ve been using follow for about a month, and it reminds me the good old days of using google reader, but more than google reader! It’s really impressive!

As an alpha user, I was initially drawn to Follow’s clean and minimalist UI. However, after trying it out, I realized that the UI is just a small part of what makes it stand out. Its innovative product concept and more user-friendly interactions compared to other RSS tools are the main reasons I enjoy using it. I look forward to seeing it shape the future of this category of products

@zanweiguo thank you so much zanwei! ❤️
