The hub for shared RSS curations
InsightSynqHub is a marketplace of curated RSS sets. Subscribe to a curator and you instantly inherit their feed mix, topics, and scoring rules — your reading list now mirrors theirs. Or publish your own and let others follow you. Think Spotify playlists, but for the information that shapes how you think.
Stop hunting for good RSS feeds by yourself. Stand on the shoulders of curators who already did the work, then let optional AI helpers translate, summarize, and rank what comes through.

Why a hub?
Setting up a really good RSS reader takes more work than it looks. You hunt for the right blogs and academic feeds, filter out the ones that publish too much filler, write keyword rules so noise drops out, tune score thresholds so your top of the list isn't dominated by clickbait. After a few weeks of iteration, you finally have a feed that's worth opening every morning — but it took dozens of hours of trial and error.
Meanwhile, the world is full of people who have already done this for their domain. The quant who already knows which dozen finance feeds to read. The ML researcher who curated the right blend of arXiv, Hugging Face, and lab blogs. The gamer who keeps tabs on every indie studio's announcement RSS. Their work is invisible to you — and you re-do it from scratch in your own reader, badly.
InsightSynqHub closes that gap. Curators publish their setup as a curation: a bundle of topics, RSS sources, keywords, and scoring rules. Anyone can subscribe with one click and inherit the entire mix. You're not just following someone's posts — you're tapping into the same primary sources they read, before they post about them.
Layer multiple curations together to compose your own information diet. Mix a finance curator with a tech curator, sprinkle in your own custom feeds, and watch them all flow into one ranked list. Star ratings and comments on each curation make it easy to spot the ones worth following. As curators update their sets, your reading list quietly stays current.
Who is it for?
Anyone who needs to keep up with a fast-moving field benefits from inheriting an expert's reading list. Here are some of the people the hub is built for.
Keep up with arXiv, Hugging Face, official lab blogs, and framework changelogs without curating each feed yourself. Subscribe to a fellow researcher who keeps their list sharp, and never miss a paper that matters.
Markets, macro, regulatory updates, niche industry blogs — important signal is scattered. Plug into a curator's published mix and absorb the same data flow professional readers use. Add AI scoring to keep your morning short.
A great writer is a great reader first. Borrow the source mix of someone who covers your beat well, then layer your own scoops. Translation on demand makes international stories first-class citizens.
Gaming, design, food, travel, comics — every niche has people who already track the best sources. Subscribe to them. Or, if you're that person for your niche, publish your set and let your peers ride along.
How the hub works
The hub has two roles that feed each other. Curators design and publish RSS & topic mixes; subscribers import them and read. Most people end up doing both — you start as a subscriber, build expertise, and eventually publish your own curation so the people coming up behind you don't have to repeat your work.
Discover
The discovery page is a dense, filterable feed of every public curation. Slice it by genre, minimum rating, country of origin, or language. Ratings come from real subscribers who actually read the feed, not from view counts — so a curator with 50 ratings averaging ★4.7 is more trustworthy than one with a million pageviews and no signal. Click any card to preview the topics & sources before subscribing.
Curate
Got a finely tuned RSS setup you spent weeks dialing in? Publish it. Pick a name, an emoji icon, up to 5 genres, and a short description that tells subscribers what to expect. The form takes about a minute. Your topics & sources become public; your reading history stays private.
Curating is more than just generosity — it's how reputations are built in domain communities. Top-rated curations surface across the hub, attract follow-on subscribers, and serve as a calling card for your taste. Edit, archive, and update any time. Up to 15 active curations per account so you can publish different lists for different audiences.
More you'll love
Everything is designed to make the hub more useful for both curators and subscribers — better signal, lower cost, faster reading, more trust.
Every signed-in user can rate a curation 1–5 stars and leave exactly one comment. That one-comment cap keeps the feedback section signal-rich instead of devolving into a forum. Ratings update in real time and feed the hub's sort order — well-loved curations bubble up, abandoned ones fade.
Articles arrive every hour whether your browser is open or not. The crawler runs once per source globally — if 100 subscribers all follow the same arXiv feed, the hub fetches it once and fans the result out. Less bandwidth, fewer 429s from upstream, lower latency for everyone.
AI scoring (rank by interest), AI summarization (read the gist before opening), and AI translation (any language → Japanese) are completely optional. Bring your own key from Anthropic / OpenAI / Gemini and pick which model handles which role. Skip AI entirely and the hub still works — you just see raw RSS items.
Your 👍 likes, 🔖 bookmarks, and 👎 dislikes are fed into a periodic AI Insight job. The output: a written summary of your reading style, a chart of which genres you actually engage with, and "knowledge gap" suggestions for areas you might be under-exposed to. Surprisingly self-revealing.
English, Chinese, Korean articles become first-class with one click. Translation only runs when you press the button — no automatic background translation, so cost stays under your control. Hybrid path: DeepL Free key (500k chars/mo) handles most articles for free, AI fills in when the page needs more reasoning.
API keys are encrypted at rest with AES-GCM; plaintext never lands in server logs. Reading history, 👍/👎 feedback, bookmarks — all stay scoped to your account. BYOK means LLM costs hit your own provider account, not ours. We're the substrate, not the middleman.
FAQ
A curation bundles three things: topics (each is a name + keyword list + minimum score threshold), the RSS source URLs each topic pulls from, and metadata (title, emoji icon, up to 5 genres, optional description). When you subscribe, all three flow into your personal settings page. No API keys or secrets travel with the curation — those stay private to the curator.
Absolutely. Once imported, the topics & sources live in your settings — there's no "subscribed" vs "owned" distinction. Rename a topic, drop one of the RSS sources, tighten a keyword, layer a curation on top of another. The "from curation" chip on each article tells you which curation contributed it, so adjustments are easy to make and easy to reverse.
No. The hub is fully usable as a plain RSS reader — discovery, subscribing, reading, rating, commenting, and even publishing your own curations all work without an LLM. AI scoring, summary, translation, and Insights kick in only if you bring a key. Gemini and Claude both have free tiers that comfortably cover casual reading.
Yes. Up to 15 active curations per account. Curations auto-publish on submit (no manual review queue), so you can iterate quickly. Moderators can take down abusive content. Archive any curation at any time to free up a slot — archived curations are hidden from discovery but stay readable for existing subscribers.
Social timelines feed you a curator's posts. A hub curation feeds you their sources — the same primary feeds they read each morning, before any personal commentary. You get unfiltered, ranked-by-relevance access to the same information firehose. Scales beautifully: one well-tuned curation can power thousands of subscribers' reading lists indefinitely, with no daily writing burden on the curator.
Ratings and the take-down workflow. New curations are visible immediately but unrated; they rise only if real subscribers rate them well. Anyone can report a curation, and moderators can hide or take down problematic ones. The 15-curation-per-account cap also limits velocity for low-effort spammers.
Yes. Your topics & sources, bookmarks, reading history, and your published curations are all exportable as JSON from the settings page. Deleting your account wipes everything immediately. Your data is yours, by design.
The hub fetches RSS sources once globally (shared crawl pool), so subscribing thousands of feeds doesn't multiply your bandwidth or upstream rate limits. AI scoring & translation, when enabled, run per-user — those calls hit your API key. If you keep AI off, subscribing is effectively free.
