dsh-rss-monitor

RSS feeds are scattered across the web, and manually refreshing each one is both tedious and easy to miss. dsh-rss-monitor turns that chore into a background task inside DeepSeek Harness: add your RSS 2.0 or Atom sources, pick a check interval from 1 to 1440 minutes, and the plugin handles fetching, per-source include and exclude keyword filtering on titles and summaries, and smart deduplication via an md5 sliding window over the last 1000 entries so every notification is genuinely new.

After deduplication, new items are delivered as a polished HTML email with thumbnail cards, sent over SMTP with 3-second and 4-second exponential back-off retries. The SMTP password is written only to the Harness credential store; the config file keeps a passRef pointer, so no plaintext appears on disk or in the UI. Version 0.2.0 adds a weekly time window: freely select days of the week, set a daily start and end time, and cross-midnight ranges such as 22:00 to 06:00 are handled correctly. Outside the window the timer pauses automatically, and the UI shows in real time whether you are inside, outside, or have the window disabled. Everything is managed through a native bilingual settings page with four tabs: Overview, RSS Sources, Email Notifications, and Runtime Settings, auto-refreshing every 15 seconds with fingerprint diffing to avoid unnecessary re-renders.

This plugin is ideal for readers who track tech blogs, industry newsletters, or preprint feeds and want to replace browser tab-polling with a single well-formatted email. It slots directly into the DeepSeek Harness workflow. Released under the MIT license and ready to use out of the box.
