Feedle is an innovative RSS feed manager plugin designed specifically for Obsidian.md users who want to seamlessly integrate news feeds into their notes. With Feedle, staying updated with your favorite websites and incorporating valuable insights into your notes has never been easier. Simply insert a Feedle code block with a URL, and let Feedle enrich your notes with the latest content.
I wanted a drop in RSS solution that just worked, without complicated menus, setup and navigation. This design decision will lead to a more conservative feature set, it offers an intuitive text-based RSS feed experience that integrates nicely into obsidian. I look to strike an ideal balance between functionality and configurability, allowing you to tweak the core of the plugin. This will be priority work after the initial MVP is launched, and bugs are worked out. It will definitely be in place before v1.

Feedle relies on @extractus packages for parsing RSS feed data, Obsidian API's for interacting with editor content, and uses React and Tailwind CSS for rendering custom views.
Feedle integrates well with X's folder-notes plugin. Their is no direct dependency, Feedle is just designed to work this way. If Feedle snippet is in a note, and the note's parent folder has the same name as the Feedle note, Feedle will add new notes to the current folder. Otherwise Feedle will create a new folder with the same name as the Feedle Note in the same directory as the Feedle note.
I plan to continue to iterate on Feedle until I am happy with it's functionality and it works reliably.
