# I was fed up with spending 45 mins reading multiple newsletters every morning. > Source: > Published: 2026-10-23 19:34:40+00:00 *This is a submission for the [Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 3: Slow and Steady](https://dev.to/challenges/hacktoberfest-week3-2026-10-19)* Each time I come across a compelling article, I end up subscribing to the author's newsletter. I am already subscribed to Aeon, Ali Abdaal's newsletter, ByteByteGo, The Pragmatic Engineer and I am sure this list is going to get longer. But more often than not, these newsletters end up collecting dust in my inbox, but I can't seem to bring myself to unsubscribe because I end up thinking, "What if some important news comes up and I end up falling behind?" But that important news seems to come up few and far in between. I have finally built the solution to this problem- **Slothreader, an offline-first newsletter compiler and multi-source deduplicator**. It channels your inner sloth by handling the mental heavy lifting while you sleep: `.eml/.html` files.`Newsletters` folder.`send_default_pii=False`). The demo video is as follows: The codebase for **Slothreader** is given below: **"Sloths conserve energy because the world moves too fast. Slothreader lets your computer do the reading so you can do the living."** Modern developers and knowledge workers suffer from **chronic newsletter debt**: `(1,842 unread)`, producing background anxiety. **Slothreader** was designed around a strict guiding principle: *energy conservation for the user, zero cloud data leakage, and zero recurring token costs.* Instead of building another cloud API wrapper, the entire intelligence pipeline runs locally on-device. *1. The Open-Source AI Stack* *2. Code vs. Model Division of Labor* Deterministic Python: Uses imaplib (with TLS read-only BODY.PEEK[]) and BeautifulSoup to strip DOM junk, tracking pixels, and regex-matched sponsor banners ([Sponsor], Presented by...). We never waste model compute on tasks standard code can solve in milliseconds. Gemma 2 Engine: Ingests only clean technical text to perform topic clustering, deduplication, and signal extraction. *3. Observability with Sentry Agent Tracing* I instrumented the agent pipeline with Sentry Agent Tracing (`sentry-sdk`) to track performance across custom spans (` email.clean`, `gemma.deduplicate`, `gazette.render`). This lets me monitor Time-To-First-Token (TTFT), token volume, and local model latency—with `send_default_pii=False` ensuring private email content never touches Sentry servers. *4. The Sloth Gazette & Badge* The engine renders a morning briefing to the terminal with rich and exports an offline Markdown gazette. It automatically computes a Sloth Badge (e.g., 18,000 raw words → 450 summary words = ~88 minutes saved), rewarding you for letting the machine do the reading. Building Slothreader with open-weight AI wasn't just a design choice— it was the only way this project could ethically and practically exist. The reasons why open innovation matters are as follows: Your email inbox holds the keys to your digital identity—password resets, financial receipts, and private correspondence. Handing raw email streams to commercial cloud APIs is an unacceptable privacy gamble. With Google Gemma 2 running locally on-device, inference happens entirely in RAM. Not a single byte of email data ever leaves your machine. Ingesting 15 bloated newsletters daily burns hundreds raw tokens every morning. On closed cloud APIs, that makes reading quiet costly. Open weights keeps it free forever. Closed APIs fail the moment your Wi-Fi drops. Slothreader works in full airplane mode— on a train, off-grid, or during an outage—with zero rate limits, latency spikes, or corporate vendor lock-in. My agent session with Antigravity and Gemini CLI is as follows: ``` { "DirectoryPath": "\"c:\\\\Users\\\\snigd\\\\OneDrive\\\\Documents\\\\Projects\\\\Slothreader\"", "toolAction": "\"Listing project directory\"", "toolSummary": "\"List directory contents\"" } Executed successfully $ {"CommandLine": "\"git status; git log -n 5\"", "Cwd": "\"c:\\\\Users\\\\snigd\\\\OneDrive\\\\Documents\\\\Projects\\\\Slothreader\"", "WaitMsBeforeAsync": "5000", "toolAction": "\"Checking git status\"", "toolSummary": "\"Git status and log\""} Executed successfully $ {"CommandLine": "\"git ls-remote origin\"", "Cwd": "\"c:\\\\Users\\\\snigd\\\\OneDrive\\\\Documents\\\\Projects\\\\Slothreader\"", "WaitMsBeforeAsync": "5000", "toolAction": "\"Checking remote branches\"", "toolSummary": "\"Git remote check\""} Executed successfully { "DirectoryPath": "\"c:\\\\Users\\\\snigd\\\\OneDrive\\\\Documents\\\\Projects\"", "toolAction": "\"Listing parent projects directory\"", "toolSummary": "\"List projects directory\"" } Executed successfully $ {"CommandLine": "\"Get-ChildItem -Force\"", "Cwd": "\"c:\\\\Users\\\\snigd\\\\OneDrive\\\\Documents\\\\Projects\\\\Slothreader\"", "WaitMsBeforeAsync": "3000", "toolAction": "\"Listing all files in workspace\"", "toolSummary": "\"List workspace files\""} Executed successfully {"questions": "[{\"is_multi_select\":false,\"options\":[\"(Recommended) Scaffold the AI Agent Loop documentation files (AGENTS.md, ENGINEERING_PLAYBOOK.md, PROGRESS.md, etc.) and let's define the PRD for Slothreader together.\",\"I already have product requirements / a PRD for Slothreader that I want to share first.\",\"Set up a standard starter web app and the agent loop files simultaneously.\"],\"question\":\"How would you like to kick off the Slothreader project with this AI Agent Loop framew Executed successfully ``` Please go ahead and share your product requirements or PRD for **Slothreader**!

Here is how each layer handles different newsletters: Slothreader does not care who published the email. In live mode (`--live`), it connects to any standard email provider (Gmail, Fastmail, ProtonMail, Outlook, etc.) over TLS: - You simply set `IMAP_FOLDER` in your `.env` (e.g., `IMAP_FOLDER="Newsletters"`, `IMAP_FOLDER="MorningReads"`, or `IMAP_FOLDER="INBOX"`). - It reads emails sent via **Substack, Beehiiv, Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Ghost, or direct publishers**. The deterministic fluff stripper (`fluff_stripper.py`) strips: - Universal HTML clutter (navigation menus, headers, footers, tracking pixels, unsubscribe links). - Universal sponsor tags (`[Sponsor]`, `Sponsored by...`, `Presented by...`, `A message from our partner...`). - This works identically on **finance, business, news, lifestyle, or science newsletters** (e.g., *Morning Brew*, *The Hustle*, *Axios*, *Bloomberg/Matt Levine*, *The Skimm*). | Newsletter Category | Examples | How Gemma 2 Handles It in the Gazette | |---|---|---| | **Tech & Engineering** | TLDR, ByteByteGo, PyCoder's, Hacker Newsletter | Consolidates framework releases, benchmarks, CVEs, GitHub repos. | | **Finance & Markets** | Morning Brew, The Hustle, Robinhood Snacks, Bloomberg | Merges duplicate reporting of interest rate cuts, earnings reports, or market shifts into **The Big Moves** . | | **Science & Research** | Nature Briefing, Science Daily, MIT Tech Review | Merges multi-source reporting of breakthroughs and papers. | | **Current Affairs & Culture** | Axios, Substack essayists, The Atlantic | Consolidates overlapping coverage of major world events without repeating facts. | Currently, the default gazette sections in [`app/parser/schemas.py`] and [` app/engine/prompts.py`] are named: 1. **The Big Moves:** Cross-deduplicated top headlines (works universally for **any** domain). 2. **Tool & Repo Radar:** Highlights developer tools (in non-tech, this captures books, products, or referenced resources). 3. **Concept of the Day:** Explains a systems pattern (in finance, it would explain e.g. *Yield Curves*; in science, *CRISPR gene editing*). **Future Idea:** We could add a `--topic` or `--preset` flag (e.g. `--topic general`, `--topic finance`, `--topic tech`) to adjust the section headers automatically depending on what you subscribe to! so how will i set up the newsletters that i want slothreader to read? Setting up Slothreader to read your real newsletters takes about **2 minutes**. Here is the step-by-step guide: To keep your personal inbox clean and let Slothreader know which emails to read: `unsubscribe` (or add specific senders like `tldr.tech`, `substack.com`, `morningbrew.com`). [!TIP] Never use your primary email password. Modern email providers use dedicated **App Passwords** for third-party scripts. `Slothreader` and copy the 16-character generated password (e.g. `abcd efgh ijkl mnop`).`.env` in Slothreader In your `Slothreader` project folder, create a `.env` file (you can copy `.env.example`): ``` # Local Ollama Settings OLLAMA_HOST="http://localhost:11434" GEMMA_MODEL="gemma2:2b" # Live Email Settings IMAP_SERVER="imap.gmail.com" IMAP_PORT=993 IMAP_USERNAME="[REDACTED]" IMAP_PASSWORD="your-16-character-app-password" IMAP_FOLDER="Newsletters" ``` *(Note: `.env` is listed in `.gitignore` so your credentials will never be committed to Git).* Whenever you want your morning gazette, run: ``` python -m app.main --live ``` `GAZETTE-YYYY-MM-DD.md`). ok i want to add these instructions in the readme as well. put an appropriate heading and write everything from "setting up..." making sure no security issues arises(nothing that should be public becomes public), so that even someone with minimal tech knowledge can use it. ``` { "AbsolutePath": "\"c:\\\\Users\\\\snigd\\\\OneDrive\\\\Documents\\\\Projects\\\\Slothreader\\\\README.md\"", "EndLine": "115", "StartLine": "70", "toolAction": "\"Viewing README.md around quickstart and features\"", "toolSummary": "\"View README.md lines 70-115\"" } Executed successfully { "AbsolutePath": "\"c:\\\\Users\\\\snigd\\\\OneDrive\\\\Documents\\\\Projects\\\\Slothreader\\\\README.md\"", "EndLine": "210", "StartLine": "90", "toolAction": "\"Viewing README.md remaining sections\"", "toolSummary": "\"View README.md lines 90-210\"" } Executed successfully {"AllowMultiple": "false", "Description": "\"Add Section 4 'Setting Up Your Newsletters (Live Inbox Connection)' to README.md\"", "EndLine": "116", "Instruction": "\"Add Section 4 and renumber subsequent sections\"", "ReplacementContent": "\"---\\n\\n## 4.

I ran it against my own real backlog: 14 unread tech newsletters that had been haunting my inbox since Monday. Normally, working through that stack means opening 14 separate tabs, dodging dozens of sponsor banners and self-promotional intros, and reading the exact same Python and React release announcements four times in slightly different fonts. Here is the cold, hard math of my laziness: ``` ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ 🦥 SLOTH BADGE OF HONOR: OCT 23 EDITION │ │ Newsletters Crushed: 14 │ │ Sponsor Ads Blocked: 19 │ │ Redundant Words Skipped: 17,990 │ │ Total Effort Expended: 1 terminal command (python -m app) │ │ Verdict: 89 minutes saved to drink coffee and do nothing. │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` The real payoff isn't just the 89 minutes saved—it’s the complete eradication of newsletter guilt. I got the 3 genuinely important architectural breakthroughs of the week in a 90-second read over morning coffee, all while letting my laptop do 100% of the reading for me. I am submitting my project for the following categories: `sentry-sdk`). *~ Made by Snigdha Mondal*
