Vibecode Dailygram
track this build5 steps, step by step0%The personal digest pipeline is a realistic weekend build if you bring feeds or a data provider. Reliable ingestion from Instagram, X, TikTok, and LinkedIn is not a one-shot project: access restrictions, changing page formats, rate limits, and connector maintenance are the product's durable edge.
You are building a lean indie version of Dailygram. Create the following project files first, then implement the application by following them. Keep the files updated as decisions change. Do not collapse this into a single README or prompt. ===== README.md ===== # Dailygram indie build ## Goal Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core Dailygram workflow for one developer or a tiny team. ## Scope Poll user-supplied feeds for selected public profiles, deduplicate new posts, summarize them with an LLM, and send one scheduled email digest. ## Quick start 1. Install the documented dependencies. 2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`. 3. Run the development command chosen during implementation. 4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`. ## Honest limits This build deliberately does not replace: - maintained ingestion across four social networks - resilience to rate limits, blocks, and page changes - automatic profile discovery and source setup - managed email delivery and monitoring If those capabilities are essential, use RSSHub instead of pretending the gap is solved. ===== AGENTS.md ===== # Agent instructions - Optimize for a working, understandable weekend build. - Prefer the fewest moving parts that satisfy the brief. - Do not invent cryptography, security guarantees, APIs, or compliance claims. - Keep secrets out of source control and logs. - Add focused tests for destructive, security-sensitive, and data-loss paths. - Run the project checks before declaring the build complete. - Record any deliberate shortcut in the README under "Tradeoffs". ===== BUILD_PLAN.md ===== # Build plan ## Original build brief Build me a personal social-profile email digest to replace Dailygram. Requirements: - Node 22 + Express + better-sqlite3, with a localhost admin page for adding, editing, pausing, and deleting monitored profiles. - Each profile stores network, handle, source URL, and an RSS, Atom, or JSON feed URL. Keep one small adapter per feed format and validate each feed when saved. - Poll enabled feeds every 6 hours with node-cron, normalize posts to one schema, and deduplicate by source ID, then canonical URL, before inserting into SQLite. - Summarize only new posts with the OpenAI SDK: one sentence per post plus a five-bullet digest overview. Read OPENAI_API_KEY and model name from .env. - Send one responsive HTML email per day through Nodemailer and SMTP credentials from .env, grouped by profile with timestamps and links to original posts. - The dashboard shows last poll, next digest, source errors, and a preview of the exact pending email. Add a Run now button for polling and another for sending. - Retry failed fetches and email sends three times with backoff, preserve the error message, and never mark a digest sent until SMTP accepts it. - Bind to localhost only. No accounts, billing, telemetry, or cloud control plane; all data stays in SQLite except feed, OpenAI, and SMTP requests. - Out of scope: logging into or scraping social networks, bypassing rate limits, mobile apps, and multi-user collaboration. Do not pretend feeds always exist. - Include tests for normalization, deduplication, and digest selection, plus a README covering setup, .env keys, database backup, and the feed-access limitation. ## Required capabilities - RSS, Atom, or JSON feeds for selected profiles - OpenAI API key - SMTP credentials - always-on machine or small server ## Delivery order 1. Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands. 2. Implement the primary data model and core workflow. 3. Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence. 4. Cover the critical path with automated tests. 5. Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step. ## Done when - A new user can go from clone to first successful workflow using only the README. - The core workflow works without paid infrastructure unless the brief requires it. - Tests cover the highest-risk behavior. - Known limitations are explicit rather than hidden. ===== .env.example ===== # Copy to .env and document every variable when it is introduced. # Never put real credentials in this file. APP_ENV=development # Add only values required by the selected implementation.

People pay for Dailygram because the digest UI is the easy part. The subscription keeps public-profile ingestion working across hostile and frequently changing platforms, then runs summarization and email delivery without asking the user to maintain feeds, workers, or retries.

Vibecode Dailygram
Kinda. The core of Dailygram is buildable in a weekend with the prompt on this page, but there are real gaps: maintained ingestion across four social networks, resilience to rate limits, blocks, and page changes. Read the honest list above before committing.
How much does Dailygram cost?
Dailygram costs about $5/month (10 Profiles, checked 2026-08-14), which is $60 per year.
What do I lose by replacing Dailygram?
Honestly: maintained ingestion across four social networks; resilience to rate limits, blocks, and page changes; automatic profile discovery and source setup; managed email delivery and monitoring. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.
Is there an open-source alternative to Dailygram?
Yes: RSSHub (Open-source RSS generator with routes for many sites and services.), Huginn (Self-hosted agents that watch sources and build automated digests.). Using prior art is also vibecoding; the prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
