Are there any FOSS/selfhostable alternatives to Google Alerts? I like the ability to aggregate results from across the Internet and save the alert as an RSS link.

I’ll third that (e)motion

edit: just remembered,

i haven’t tried these yet but i think they might do the same with enough setup

github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io

github.com/huginn/huginn

I’ve heard that the later is used by journalists and osint investigators to gather & organize info automatically.

anyone have firsthand experience with either?

Thanks for recommending Huginn! It seems like it might be able to do what I’m after, and then some. I’ll have to dig in more
