## What it is
A self-hostable web application that converts email newsletters into Atom feeds. It gives each feed a unique email address; incoming newsletter emails are turned into feed entries readable in any feed reader.

## Use cases
- read email newsletters in an RSS/Atom feed reader
- convert newsletters to RSS feeds
- avoid newsletter clutter in my inbox
- self-host a newsletter-to-feed converter
- subscribe to newsletters without giving my real email

## When to choose
- you prefer feed readers over email for consuming newsletters
- you want a self-hosted alternative to hosted newsletter-to-RSS services
- you want to keep newsletters out of your personal inbox

## When to avoid
- a newsletter requires reply-to-confirm subscription
- the publisher blocks the service's email domain
- you need full email content beyond what fits a feed entry

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: email, http-server
- domain: email, self-hosted, developer-tools, web-development
- platform: self-hosted, cross-platform
- tags: atom-feeds, rss, newsletter-to-feed, email-to-rss, feed-reader, nodejs, web-server
