👋 Hi Product Hunt!
I'm DIYgod, the creator of Follow and an open-source developer based in Singapore. Over the past decade, I've created and maintained more than 100 open-source projects on GitHub, amassing 67K stars ✨. Yet, none have meant as much to me as Follow 🧡.
Six years ago, I launched an open-source project called RSSHub, designed to generate RSS feeds for any website or content. Thanks to continuous maintenance and contributions from over 1,100 community developers 👥, it has evolved into the world's largest RSS network—supporting over 1,200 websites and running on more than 5,000 nodes. While this is a remarkable achievement, I feel there's still more to accomplish.
RSSHub caters primarily to geeks 😎, but I envision an information platform accessible to everyone—one that empowers more people to stay informed with ease. That's where Follow comes in. It's not just an RSS reader; it's a customizable information center where anyone can follow their favorite creators and feeds from any platform 🌎. No more jumping between apps or dealing with unwanted noise—just a consistent, streamlined experience. With AI-driven features like translation, summaries, and recent headlines, Follow offers intelligent and efficient browsing. If you're intrigued, please check out our promotional materials, official website, or GitHub repository to learn more 🔗.
Follow has gained significant traction on GitHub, boasting over 16K stars and ranking first on GitHub's daily, weekly, and monthly trending repositories 📈. But I don't want it to resonate only with developers. That's why I've brought it to Product Hunt, a community of brilliant product enthusiasts and makers, in hopes of receiving your suggestions and feedback to further refine our product.
Currently in its public testing phase 🧪, Follow still has some advanced features—like certain AI functions and the ability to create and share lists—that require an invitation code. If you're interested in diving deeper into Follow or have insights to share, please let me know in the comments 💬. I'll be happy to send you an invitation code.
Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions!

Who hunted Follow?
Follow was hunted by Chris Messina. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
