What is Follow
Follow is an open-source RSS reader that makes "everything subscribable". Follow supports traditional website RSS subscriptions and can follow updates from social media accounts (such as Twitter, Xiaohongshu, Weibo), video platform creators (YouTube, Bilibili), podcasts, images, and other content. Relying on the RSSHub platform, Follow breaks the limitation of subscribing only to web content and allows users to aggregate and read updates from across the internet in one place. Follow features automation and AI capabilities such as AI summary generation, automatic translation, and new item notifications, supports cross-platform use, and is compatible with mainstream operating systems such as Windows, macOS, and Linux. Follow is a powerful content aggregation tool that makes information access more convenient and personalized.
