The application includes an automated daily newsletter system that:
- Runs daily at 4:15 AM UTC (12:15 PM Beijing time) via Inngest cron
- Fetches articles from all active RSS sources in the database
- Processes up to 10 most recent articles per source
- Aggregates content from the past 3 days (configurable)
- Formats articles into HTML email templates
- Sends newsletters via Resend broadcasts to all subscribers
The cron schedule "15 4 * * *" means the job runs at 4:15 UTC daily. You can adjust this in inngest/functions.ts.
The application uses Supabase PostgreSQL with two main tables:
- Manages RSS feed configurations
- Tracks source status (active/inactive)
- Supports both direct RSS feeds and RSSHub routes
- Includes priority levels for processing order
- Stores processed articles from RSS feeds
- Maintains publication dates and content
- Links to source information
- Prevents duplicate entries
The system supports two types of RSS sources:
- Direct Feeds: Standard RSS feed URLs
- RSSHub Routes: RSSHub endpoints with configurable parameters
Each source includes:
- Name and category information
- Type designation (direct_feed or rsshub)
- Priority level for processing order
- Active status flag
- Statistics tracking (success/failure counts)
This project is ready for deployment on Vercel:
