Original: "Take the Well-Maintained Road Over Risky Shortcuts": Ditching Web Scraping for an AI App Powered by Official RSS & Gemini (Lessons from Logistics)

Short summary

A Japanese truck driver turned Python beginner built 'Puoppo,' an automated AI trend analysis tool that aggregates RSS feeds and summarizes up to 100 articles using Gemini 2.5 Flash in 10-15 seconds. The article explains why RSS feeds beat web scraping for reliability and includes setup instructions for local deployment. Built with Flask, plain HTML/CSS, and Gemini API.

  • •Puoppo aggregates RSS feeds and summarizes articles via Gemini 2.5 Flash in ~10-15s
  • •RSS chosen over web scraping to avoid IP blocking and maintenance costs
  • •Includes local setup instructions for Linux/macOS/Windows; open-source on GitHub
