RSS CSE Setup is a curated collection of RSS/Atom feeds from top Computer Science and Engineering blogs, companies, and thought leaders. The project provides both a modern web interface for feed selection and ready-to-use OPML files for instant import into any RSS reader.

• Curated Content: Hand-picked RSS feeds from leading engineering blogs and tech companies
• Web Interface: Modern, responsive UI for browsing and selecting feeds
• Instant OPML Generation: Generate custom OPML files with your selected feeds
• Universal Compatibility: Works with all major RSS readers (Feedly, Inoreader, Thunderbird, etc.)
• Easy Maintenance: Excel-based feed management for contributors

1. Visit the Web App: Navigate to the RSS CSE Setup website
2. Browse Categories: Explore feeds organized by categories (Engineering Blogs, AI, Web Development, etc.)
3. Select Feeds: Check the boxes for feeds you want to subscribe to
4. Generate OPML: Click "Generate OPML" to create your custom feed collection
5. Download: Use "Download OPML" to save the file to your device
6. Import: Import the OPML file into your favorite RSS reader

• Feedly: File → Import OPML
• Inoreader: Settings → Import/Export → Import from OPML
• Thunderbird: File → Import → Import from OPML file
• NewsBlur: Import → Upload OPML
• The Old Reader: Settings → Import → Choose OPML file
• Most other RSS readers: Look for "Import OPML" or "Import feeds" option

If you prefer to get all curated feeds without selection:

• Download the complete OPML file from the releases section
• Import directly into your RSS reader
