## Description

RSSerpent is an open-source tool that generates RSS feeds for websites lacking native RSS support. Created by Queensferry and the RSSerpent organization, it is heavily inspired by RSSHub. The software runs as a Python web application using Starlette and Uvicorn, exposing an HTTP endpoint on port 8000. Users can deploy it via the official Docker image (queensferry/rsserpent) or install from PyPI. The project provides an official hosted instance at rsserpent.com and documentation at docs.rsserpent.com. It is licensed under MIT and currently at version 0.1.4 with beta maturity status. No authentication, database, or external service dependencies are required for basic operation.
