The visible email + RSS publishing loop is buildable, but a credible replacement needs more than the first screen. FeedBlitz earns its keep through deliverability, reputation, network, so expect a weekend or multi-day build and a narrower personal scope.

Build a deliberately narrow personal substitute for FeedBlitz, not a full clone. Use exactly this stack: Next.js 15 + TypeScript + PostgreSQL (using Prisma). Primary job: Build an automated RSS-to-email publishing tool and subscriber database focused on content distribution via a user-supplied SMTP provider. Start from an empty folder and create the complete working project. Make the default mode single-user and private. Data Model: - `Feeds`: id, url, last_polled_at, status - `Subscribers`: id, email, status - `Tags`: id, name - `SubscriberTags`: subscriber_id, tag_id - `Funnels` (Automations): id, feed_id, target_tag_id, schedule (cron expression), template_html - `SentNewsletters`: id, funnel_id, subject, sent_at, open_count, click_count User Journey & Screens: 1. RSS Configuration: Add blog/podcast RSS feeds. Configure the polling schedule. 2. Funnel/Automation Builder: UI to map an incoming RSS feed to an email template, select a target audience (via Tags), and set the delivery frequency (e.g., daily digest vs. immediate send). 3. Subscriber Management: View subscribers, their behavioral tags, and manually adjust their lists. 4. Reporting Dashboard: View open/click metrics for the automated newsletters. Technical specifics: - Implement a background worker (e.g., node-cron or BullMQ) to parse RSS feeds for new entries and automatically generate HTML emails based on predefined funnels. - Put every secret and external credential (SMTP) in .env and provide .env.example. - Ensure reliable bounce and unsubscribe processing to maintain list hygiene. - Deliberately exclude these paid-product advantages: integrated monetization/ad-network tools; complex inbox activity detection for send-time optimization; resilient polling of heavily rate-limited feeds. - Write focused unit tests for the RSS parsing to HTML generation workflow. - Create a README with setup, architecture, and instructions for running the background scheduler locally. - Run the tests and build before finishing, then fix errors rather than merely describing them.
