## Description

mkfd lets you create RSS feeds from sources that don't provide them natively — websites, email inboxes (IMAP), APIs, and other web content. It ships a React-based web interface for defining and managing feeds. Features include CSS-selector scraping, multi-page drill chains, Playwright-powered advanced scraping with optional Chrome extensions, IMAP email monitoring for Gmail, Yahoo and Outlook, a feed preview pane, parallel item processing, Flaresolverr support for Cloudflare-protected sites, and a selector suggestion helper. The service listens on port 5000 and needs three generated secrets (PASSKEY, COOKIE_SECRET, ENCRYPTION_KEY) for auth and encryption. You can run it with Docker, Docker Compose, or locally on Bun; email handling uses a separate Node.js process with adjustable memory. Licensed MIT and actively developed.
