i have been using "rss2email" for years. extremely simple, works great, deterministic. no need to reinvent the wheel for a simple use case, and thats half the point here - a lot of "solutions" being found were already solved.
In this scenario it needs to read a 5 day forecast capture key elements and only send the email/ alert the first time and not the following 4 days(if the alert remains the same) so in my previous attempts at RSS reader apps already in existence, they didn't meet the need.
Isnt this essentially the case by definition? If LLMs can solve a problem it's only because a human already solved that problem (not that this is any different from what humans do)
