## RSS Aggregator for [Gemini Protocol](https://geminiprotocol.net/)

`pulsarss` is a multi-process crawler for RSS feeds. It collects the data into static [gemtext](https://geminiprotocol.net/docs/gemtext.gmi) files, organized in sub-folders by `pub_date`; also builds an actual `index.gmi` file in the destination folders for easy reading in your favorite [Gemini browser](https://github.com/kr1sp1n/awesome-gemini#clients).

> [!NOTE]
> At this moment, `pulsarss` does not provide any built-in server. To read the data collected, use any server for static files listed in the [awesome-gemini list](https://github.com/kr1sp1n/awesome-gemini#servers)
