RSS Bot

RSS, which stands for "Really Simple Syndication," is a format for web feeds that are used to share information that is updated often, such as blog posts, news headlines, audio, video, etc.

If your app shows news, blog posts, or updates from multiple sources, an RSS bot can automatically pull new posts from these sources and show them in your app, making sure your users always have the most recent content.

You can link your RSS feed with your app itself, which will represent the outsider content in your default tab, such as Newsfeed, or with a specific channel in your app.
