Charles Kelsoe 9e563d8ffe Phase 5: apply adversarial-review fixes
Correctness: resolver classifies /p/ as Substack only on a substack.com host;
redirect cap aligned to 5; extractFeedItemId unescapes in a single pass (round
trips literal backslash escapes). Feature: podcast/media notes now record
media-url frontmatter and append an [Episode audio]/[Media] body link. Safety:
the import command guards synchronous NoteWriter construction (a bad destination
folder now surfaces a Notice, not a silent throw); loadSettings validates
per-feed literal fields from data.json. Diagnosability: empty-body imports and
skipped image downloads are logged. Structure: FeedPickerModal and
DuplicatePromptModal moved to their own files; id non-empty guard at the mapping
boundary; doc + type-dedup cleanups. 244 tests; build + lint green.

Deferred (low/cosmetic): shared header helper, Atom updated-vs-published date
precedence, the sanctioned settings-tab cast.

RSS Importer

CI Release GitHub Downloads GitHub Stars Obsidian License Latest Release

Import articles and podcasts from RSS, Atom, and Substack feeds into your vault as Markdown notes, organized by source feed and deduplicated by note identity.

It is an importer, not a reader. It writes notes you own and then gets out of the way.

Features

  • Multiple sources. Add any RSS, Atom, or podcast feed. Substack publications are first-class: paste a @handle, a subdomain, a custom domain, or a post URL and the plugin resolves it to the right feed.
  • One folder per feed. Each feed imports into its own destination folder. Reorganize the notes into subfolders however you like; the plugin still finds them.
  • Never re-imports. Each note carries a stable identity in its frontmatter. Moving or renaming a note does not cause a duplicate on the next import.
  • Three-state item list. Every item shows as imported, dismissed, or available. Dismiss items you are not interested in; dismissing is reversible.
  • Clean Markdown. Article HTML is converted to tidy Markdown (headings, lists, tables, code blocks, captions), with subscribe and share widgets stripped.
  • Images your way. Link to the original image URLs, or download images into your vault.
  • Podcasts. Podcast items import as notes from the show notes with a link to the episode audio.

Usage

  1. Open Settings → RSS Importer and add a feed under Feeds. Paste a feed URL or a Substack handle, click Resolve to preview it, pick a destination folder, and save.
  2. Run the Import command (or the ribbon icon) to open the import window.
  3. Select the items you want and import them. A summary reports what was created, skipped, or failed.
