    Lots of websites (news, blogs, etc) have an “RSS” page which is automatically updated every time they make a new post. People have RSS apps, which scan all the RSS pages they’re subscribed to, and can quickly in one place see all the new posts they’re interested in.

    Me personally, I have an RSS app that tells me anytime Winehq, This Week in KDE, and Frame.work make a new post

    RSS, is a fantastic thing, which makes it very easy to keep track of updates, news, blog posts, etc… for hundreds of things at the same time… in an easily consumable method.

    Feedly, is one of the better PAID apps.

    FreshRSS is a great self-hosted alternative. This is what I use.
