I've been using rss feed for few months but recently it became borderline useless. For example here is grep of pubDate:

    $ wget -qO - https://rss.beehiiv.com/feeds/4aF2pGVAEN.xml | grep pubDate
    <pubDate>Thu, 16 Jan 2025 17:56:47 +0000</pubDate>
    <pubDate>Thu, 16 Jan 2025 17:56:47 +0000</pubDate>
    <pubDate>Mon, 13 Jan 2025 17:22:34 +0000</pubDate>

So since 6th november there were only 21 articles. Longest streak was 10 days and common is 3 days without any news whatsoever.

This rss is not exactly an rss with articles from the main page, but a newsletter I send manually every few days once enough significant stories happen to warrant an email. Each newsletter issue includes 2-5 main articles and 3-7 trending articles.

As an RSS user, I would love an RSS of the main page content, one entry per story over 5.5 is a perfectly reasonable baseline.
Also: It'd be great if you had a feed tag in your HTML head, so RSS readers could pick it up straight out of your homepage URL instead of needing to manually hunt for the right RSS link.

  100% the current implementation is "RSS as would be desired by newsletter lovers", but there is already the newsletter for that. If I want batching or similar my reader will handle that, I think it would be best just to have items as they happen appear on the feed.

  Ah, I didn't know it was a thing! I'll add it to HTML head.

So where is the rss feed of most important news per day?

  I know it's not going to be popular, but to cover the cost of running ChatGPT on that many articles, I made it a part of a premium subscription: https://www.newsminimalist.com/premium#rss

  Do you need realtime results, or is an ongoing queue of article analysis good enough? Have you considered running your own hardware with a frontier MoE model like deepseek v3? It can be done for relatively low cost on CPU depending on your inference speed needs. Maybe a hybrid approach could at least reduce your API spend?
  source: I run inference locally and built the server for around $6k. I get upwards of 10t/s on deepseek v3
  PS: thank you for running this service. I've been using it casually since launch and find it much better for my mental health than any other source of news I've tried in the past.
