From RSS to My Kindle
Very neat. I've been doing this with Calibre (https://calibre-ebook.com/), which involves plugging it into your PC via USB. Simple RSS feeds work with little configuration, and more complicated news sites require writing a custom python "recipe".
This project uses Amazon's email gateway, which I think is limited to 25 articles per month (don't quote me on this).

Why Blog If Nobody Reads It?
I use Zotero[1] as a personal web archiver. It downloads the page locally, placing most of the resources inside a single html file (pictures become base64 encoded pngs, for example). I find it the best way to have the content available offline and also to be able to reference it easily, seeing as it is a citation manager first.

Ask HN: What tools do you use for research?
> a new academic area
Research papers and books then. I use Google Scholar for searching, and libgen / scihub for the stuff I can't get access to easily.
> I inevitably lose track of papers.
A tools I used in graduate school for keeping track of research papers (and books): Zotero (https://www.zotero.org/).
> I'm curious if there are already tools out there to aggegate open access research by your own criteria (i.e. from specific sources only, prioritise by keyword)?
University Libraries seem to do this; And to a lesser extent smaller libraries associated with communities. Some software that I know of that was related to how my library did things is EZproxy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EZproxy). It manages access to journals and databases, which is at least a part of how to address this point. Otherwise, I'm not aware of a service that does this; Though I will keep an eye on the thread just in case someone else has a good recommendation.

New Windows AI feature records everything you've done on your PC
FWIW, I've gotten in the habit of using Zotero (https://www.zotero.org/) with a browser extension to do this. If I read something that I think I might want to reference later, I just hit an extension button and it gets slurped into Zotero with a bunch of information indexed for retrieval later.
