RSS & Atom Feed Reader – Bulk RSS to JSON with Auto-Discovery

Read hundreds of RSS, Atom and JSON Feed sources in one run and get clean, uniform JSON/CSV: title, link, published date (ISO 8601), plain-text summary, categories, podcast enclosure (audio URL) and feed name. Paste website URLs and the feed is auto-discovered. Filter by date and keyword, and enable dedupe across runs so a daily schedule outputs only new items. Fast HTTP, no browser.
