1. What Are RSS Feeds?
Imagine having a personal assistant who checks all your favorite websites, blogs, and news outlets for updates, then delivers the latest articles directly to your inbox. That's essentially what RSS feeds do!
RSS is a tool that lets you subscribe to updates from websites. Instead of visiting each site individually, RSS feeds bring the latest headlines or blog posts to one central place – like a newsstand that only stocks your favorite magazines.
💡 Think of it like a customizable newsletter that you control. No spam, no algorithms – just the content you care about.
2. How Does Brief.fm work with RSS?
