Upgrade StoragePlugin - RSSrch
I made RSSrch for my own zotero workflow as I use RSS feeds in depth for research and wanted better organization, prioritization, and review tools.
As it developed, I decided to expand it into something that could be useful for other users as well. I always make tools to accomplish my goals and decided to release this one.
RSSrch builds on zotero’s existing RSS system rather than replacing it. Zotero still handles subscriptions, feed retrieval, storage, OPML import, and native item management.
Current features include:
- Nested folders for organizing Zotero feeds
- Folder views that aggregate items from descendant feeds

- Global and per-feed rules

- Include conditions, exclude vetoes, and weighted scoring concepts

- Relevance scores and ranking in the item list

- An resizable RSS reader panel for reviewing abstracts, metadata, tags, matched concepts, and score details directly in Zotero
- Multiple reader themes for different viewing preferences

- Unread-focused browsing
- Feed Value and Feed Value History for evaluating which feeds are producing useful material

- Presentation-level deduplication in aggregate feed views
- OPML hierarchy preservation using Zotero’s native import workflow
- Enabled, Disabled, and Inherited RSSrch states for folders

- A Setup and Refinement Wizard for creating or updating a research model with an external AI assistant
https://s3.amazonaws.com/zotero.org/images/forums/u17589908/kd8l9qokao6g3ig184kh.png
- Rolling backups before rule refinement
The main use case is ongoing literature discovery and triage when following a larger number of feeds.
