This is one of the reasons why I find it most convenient to use an RSS feed to email project instead of an online reader. Since the messages are "just email" you can filter, tag, and process them with .forward/.procmailrc, or your google filters. I put together a CLI of my own to do the fetching, but there are a whole bunch of them out there and to be honest you probably don't need much complexity - beyond a couple of simple filters, and include/exclude regular expressions.

This is why I liked Yahoo Pipes[1] - you could give it an RSS feed, and then transform it based on filters, combine it with other sources, etc. So you could take an RSS feed from a site, and filter it to just articles with a certain tag.

That is neat. I've been moving my reading consumables to email for the past 2 years for indexing, categorizing and its been very stable. I'm going to try this out. Thanks!

  Really interesting. I’ve been slowly spending pandemic years moving as much out of email as possible. I did realize a year ago I should still have things in email and forward them from there. So for newsletters and general marketing emails, I have them come to two of my emails before forwarding them to https://stoopinbox.com https://stoopinbox.com. I see feed readers are beginning to accept better newsletter and email features. I also like YouTube to be in a central feed reader too. Mostly to stop myself from spending more time on it than I’d like to. And YouTube’s playlist organization is a pain for me. There’s no way to search between your own playlists on mobile. So my obsessive organizing ends up having lots of duplicate playlists.
