## How to import the Top 200 feeds into a reader in one step with Tidings RSS

Repo: [fuxiaoai/tidings-rss](https://github.com/fuxiaoai/tidings-rss) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Download the recommended 200-feed OPML and import it to start reading across 14 categories.

**Who it is for:** A new RSS user who wants broad, high-quality coverage without pruning hundreds of subscriptions.

**The problem:** Building a feed list from scratch takes hours, and large directories leave too many subscriptions to clean up.

**The outcome:** A reader filled with 200 vetted feeds, organized by the OPML groups, ready to read.

### Steps

1. Open the Top 200 download link and save tidings-top200.opml to your computer.
2. Verify the file by comparing its SHA-256 hash with the entry in SHA256SUMS.txt from the release downloads. (inferred, check the README)
3. In your feed reader, choose the import option for OPML and select tidings-top200.opml.
4. Open the imported groups and confirm that articles load for a few sources in each category.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Use the tidings-rss repo to import tidings-top200.opml into <reader-name>. Report how many feeds were imported and list any feed that returns no articles on first load.
```

### Caveat

The README says a few overseas sources may depend on local network conditions, so some feeds may not load everywhere.

## How to track AI and research feeds from one topic bundle with Tidings RSS

Repo: [fuxiaoai/tidings-rss](https://github.com/fuxiaoai/tidings-rss) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Import the AI or research bundle to follow models, papers, and labs without the full directory.

**Who it is for:** A researcher or engineer who follows AI models and papers and wants a focused list instead of 718 sources.

**The problem:** Keeping up with AI releases and papers means checking many sites, and the complete directory is too broad for one topic.

**The outcome:** A focused reader that collects model news, research posts, and lab updates in one place.

### Steps

1. Download tidings-ai.opml for models, research, tools, and technical viewpoints.
2. Download tidings-research.opml for papers, journals, labs, and science reporting if you also want those sources.
3. Import each file into your reader, keeping the groups from the OPML file.
4. Read the first few days of articles and remove any feed that repeats coverage you already follow.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the tidings-rss repo, import tidings-ai.opml and tidings-research.opml into <reader-name>. Return the total feed count and a list of feed titles that published at least one article in the last 7 days.
```

### Caveat

Topic bundles overlap, so importing both files may add the same feed URL more than once in your reader.

## How to pull feeds for a topic from the JSON catalog with Tidings RSS

Repo: [fuxiaoai/tidings-rss](https://github.com/fuxiaoai/tidings-rss) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: From the README

Have an agent read data/feeds.json and list feeds for a chosen bundle with their feed URLs.

**Who it is for:** A developer or automation builder who needs a structured list of feed URLs for a topic to feed into a pipeline.

**The problem:** Feed lists in OPML are hard to filter programmatically, and a topic search across hundreds of sources is slow by hand.

**The outcome:** A filtered list of feed names, homepages, and RSS URLs for one bundle, returned as structured data.

### Steps

1. Open data/feeds.json in the Tidings RSS repository on GitHub or from a local clone.
2. Find the bundle names in each feed's bundles field, such as ai, research, or podcasts.
3. Filter the records to the bundle you want and keep the source name and feed URL fields.
4. Check a few returned feed URLs in a browser or reader to confirm they load.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Read data/feeds.json from the fuxiaoai/tidings-rss repo and return every feed whose bundles include <bundle-name> as a JSON list of name and feed URL. Verify that the count matches the bundle size shown in the README table for that bundle.
```

### Caveat

The README says the catalog was last checked on 2026-10-01 and feeds move or disappear, so filtered lists can go stale.

## How to follow podcasts and video channels in one app with Tidings RSS

Repo: [fuxiaoai/tidings-rss](https://github.com/fuxiaoai/tidings-rss) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Import the podcast and video bundles to listen and watch in Tidings with playback controls.

**Who it is for:** A commuter or learner who prefers audio and video updates from technology, business, and science shows.

**The problem:** Podcast and video updates are scattered across apps, and they are hard to keep in the same place as written news.

**The outcome:** A library of podcast and video subscriptions in Tidings, with playback controls and downloads for episodes.

### Steps

1. Download tidings-podcasts.opml and tidings-videos.opml from the release links.
2. Import both files into Tidings, which the README recommends for the complete directory.
3. Open a podcast episode and try the playback speed control, the 15-second skip, and the mini player.
4. Download one episode for offline listening and confirm it plays.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Use the tidings-rss repo to import tidings-podcasts.opml and tidings-videos.opml into Tidings. Report how many podcast and video feeds were imported and which one returned no new episodes.
```

### Caveat

The README says Tidings is currently available for macOS 12 and later, so other platforms need a different compatible reader.

## How to summarize unread articles with AI Radar with Tidings RSS

Repo: [fuxiaoai/tidings-rss](https://github.com/fuxiaoai/tidings-rss) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: From the README

Use AI Radar and article summaries in Tidings to triage a backlog of unread feeds.

**Who it is for:** A busy reader with a long unread list from imported bundles who needs the key developments first.

**The problem:** After importing hundreds of feeds, the unread list grows faster than anyone can read it.

**The outcome:** Grouped daily highlights and short summaries that point back to the original sources for deeper reading.

### Steps

1. Import tidings-top200.opml or another bundle into Tidings and let articles load for a day.
2. Open the Daily AI Radar view to see grouped stories from the unread list.
3. Open a long article and use the AI summary to decide whether to read it closely.
4. Configure an AI provider of your choice if you want AI features, and check its account and payment terms first.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the tidings-rss repo and Tidings, import tidings-top200.opml and open Daily AI Radar. Return the grouped headlines and the source links they cite, and confirm each link opens the original article.
```

### Caveat

The README says the Tidings Pro license does not include model usage, so AI features may cost extra depending on the provider you choose.

Risk, credentials: The AI features use an AI provider you select, which may need its own API key or account, so store that key in your provider settings and not in shared files.
