About
Alert Scout is an RSS/Atom feed monitoring system that watches for topics of interest across multiple feeds and generates daily alert reports.
How it works
- Feeds are checked every 6 hours for new items
- Rules define search terms using boolean logic (must, should, must-not)
- Alerts are generated when feed items match rules, with relevant excerpts highlighted
- Daily reports are published here, consolidating the day’s matches
Currently monitoring
Topics including AI/LLM developments, Clojure ecosystem updates, and database technologies across sources like Hacker News and Planet Clojure.
