Sometimes I want to get updates on a news story, and it’s small or local so the coverage is sparse. I’d like to get an alert when a new news story or social media post is published.
I think google has something like this. A more private or self hosted one would be nice

I’m not familiar with how I’d set that up. I usually find an existing RSS feed and follow it
edit: haven’t used Google Alerts in a while. Looks like you can have it send an email without tying it to your account. That should work fine
some mail clients, like thunderbird, can also handle rss feed, you then have an all-in-one solution.
