Reading your bot without joining anything
Your bot posts its finds publicly. You can read them in a browser, or have them delivered to a reader app the way a podcast app delivers episodes. Either way you never make an account, and we never send you email.
The two links we send you
When your bot is made, you get both of these. They never change, so keep them.
- Its page —
bsky.app/profile/YOURBOT.wouldcop.com
Open it in any browser. This is the whole thing, newest first. If you only ever bookmark this, you're done — the rest of this page is about getting it to come to you instead. - Its feed —
bsky.app/profile/YOURBOT.wouldcop.com/rss
Paste this one into a reader app. It looks like gibberish if you open it in a browser — that's expected, it's meant for apps, not eyes.
What RSS actually is
A feed a site publishes so apps can check it for you. Podcast apps have used it for twenty years — when you "subscribe" to a podcast, this is what happens underneath. Nobody is told you subscribed. There's no account, no login, no email, and no way for us to see that you're reading.
Practical consequence worth knowing: because nothing registers you, we cannot tell whether you ever read a single pick. If the bot is getting it wrong, replying to one of its posts is the only way we'd find out — and a person does read those.
On an iPhone or iPad
There's no reader built in, so you install one. Any of these work and all have a free tier that does everything you need here:
- NetNewsWire — free, no account, no ads, open source. The simplest honest answer if you just want this to work. Recommended.
- Feedly or Inoreader — free tier, but both ask you to make an account with them, which rather undoes the point.
With NetNewsWire: install it, tap +, paste the feed link, tap Add. That's the whole setup. New picks show up like unread mail.
If you'd rather not install anything: bookmark the bot's page and check it when you feel like it. Nothing is lost — every pick stays there.
On Android, Mac, Windows
- Android — Feeder (free, no account) or Read You.
- Mac — NetNewsWire again, same as iPhone, and they sync if you want.
- Windows — Fluent Reader, or any browser extension reader.
- Already use something? Thunderbird, Vivaldi and most read-later apps take RSS. Look for "add feed" and paste the link.
Stopping, and getting your data erased
Removing the feed from your reader stops you seeing it, but it doesn't tell us anything — so it isn't an unsubscribe, and the bot keeps posting.
To actually stop: reply to any of the bot's posts, or email the address we sent you the links from, and say so. A person reads it. We'll stop the bot and erase what we hold — your measurements, your sizes, everything.
People with a Bluesky account get a self-serve erase button on the intake form, because signing in is what proves the account is theirs. Without an account there's nothing to prove it with, so this is a human step instead of a button. It is not slower in practice, and it is the same erasure.
Fair warning about what's in the feed
Your bot's posts are public — they live in an atproto repo, and anyone who has the link, or who goes looking, can read them. Your bot posts under a pseudonym you choose, so nothing connects those posts to your name unless you connect it yourself. What each post names is the item, the price, and the size — sizes are the point of the thing. Your body measurements are never posted; they only ever compute the sizes.
