It is an age-old question: how can one keep up with the continuous output of science? I remember at the beginning of my PhD struggling to figure out how anyone found out when a new paper came out. Did they sit on nature.com and spam the refresh button? Did they know when each journal released their latest issue?

After collecting all of your desired RSS feeds, you cannot forego your responsibility of actually reading them! Most RSS feed aggregators have shortcuts to move through titles quickly (Typically `J` to move on to the next one and `K` to move up.)

This changed the game for me for keeping up with papers. Unfortunately, it doesn't solve the problem of library management. I will leave this as an exercise for the interested reader. I hope this helps you get your eyeballs on that science you crave.
