rss2email: a calmer, faster UI
We’ve refreshed rss2email with a cleaner layout and tighter workflows. The service stays lightweight, but the things you do every day—add feeds, check freshness, tune emails—are now faster and easier.
Live demo: https://rss2email.dtz.rocks/
The dashboard puts rss2email next to your other services for quick access.
What’s new (and why it’s nicer)
A glanceable overview
The FEEDS home shows counts for upcoming notifications (1 day, 1 week, 1 month) plus the total number of subscriptions. It’s the “how noisy will my inbox be?” sanity check.
Glanceable stats for feeds and upcoming notifications.
Feed health you don’t have to interpret
Each subscription card highlights three facts:
- URL — the canonical feed address
- Last check — when we last polled the feed
- Last data — when the feed last produced an item
We also added color-coded health: green = fresh, amber = slow/quiet, red = stale. That saves you from opening a feed just to learn it hasn’t published in ages.
Healthy: recent data in green.
Stale: nothing new for a long while, flagged in red.
Controls for Disable and Delete stay within reach but out of your way, so cleanup is quick without being scary.
Compact cards make scanning and housekeeping fast.
Add feeds without hunting for XML
Paste any homepage—we’ll discover the feed link for you—or drop in a direct RSS/Atom URL. One click creates the subscription. It’s built for speed when you’re in “add five sources” mode.
Feed discovery: paste a homepage, let us find the feed.
Emails you can actually read
Notification emails are rendered via Mustache templates. You can edit the subject and body right in the UI with documented variables, so messages fit your team’s tone (or your own inbox rules).
- Available variables:
{{title}},{{link}},{{description}},{{content}},{{date}}
Example:
Subject: {{title}}
Body:
{{link}}
{{& description}}
Tune the subject/body with Mustache—no redeploy required.
Small touches that add up
- Explicit timestamps with consistent formatting
- Rounded cards, wider tap targets, and saner spacing
- Clearer status at the bottom: Status Page and Documentation links are always visible
This isn’t a features dump; it’s a quality pass that makes rss2email feel snappier and more trustworthy day to day. If you’re already using down to zero, your feeds are there—just easier to manage. Tell us what else you’d like to see next.
