Problem statement: I have a bunch of links to sites that update infrequently (think monthly or quarterly magazines) and I want to remember to go read them when they’ve updated.

RSS isn’t a great solution since almost all sites spam out constant low-value content which I’d prefer to not be bombarded with - I just want to see the main updates, similarly to how I’d have received a magazine in the mail, in the past.

The basic answer here is just keep a list of links and remember to click them, and that’s what I do, but it feels like there could be a better solution…

How do you handle this?

    There are sites that inform you once the website changes via email. Alternatively RSS feeds are still a thing. Yahoo pipes allows you to build your own RSS feeds from websites that don’t have one.
