Which sources can I add to a Taco Digest email?

Taco Digest supports four source types: RSS feeds, subreddits, YouTube channels, and newsletters. You pick the specific sources, and they all arrive in one email on the days and at the hour you set. The site describes the product as having no ads and no algorithm. A 14-day trial is available with no card required, according to the site.

The four source types

RSS feeds

This is the broadest category. Any site that publishes an RSS feed can go in, which covers most blogs, news sites, and independent publications. In the site's sample digest, this is how sources like Stratechery, Longreads, Aeon, and NASA appear, each represented by its latest item.

Subreddits

You add a subreddit and the digest pulls its top posts of the day. The example digest shows r/selfhosted and r/homelab side by side, each with a ranked list of posts, scores, comment counts, and timestamps. This is useful when you want community highlights without opening Reddit itself.

YouTube channels

You add a channel and new videos from it appear in the digest. The sample shows entries from NASA and Tom Scott, each with the video title and publish time.

Newsletters

Newsletters work differently from the other three. Instead of pulling from a feed, you forward newsletters to your Taco address, and they are included in the digest. The sample digest shows a "Newsletters Forwarded to your Taco address" section containing items from publications like Noahpinion. If a newsletter doesn't offer an RSS feed, this forwarding route is how it gets in.

What a combined digest looks like

The site's example issue shows all four types in one email: Hacker News best stories, top posts from two subreddits, individual items from several blogs and publications, new videos from two YouTube channels, and forwarded newsletters. Each section is labeled by source, and items carry a title, a timestamp, and often a score or comment count. The digest also includes a small header with the date, time, and location weather, plus an exchange rate line.

That layout is the practical answer to "which sources can I add": you can mix all four types freely, and the digest groups them by source so you can scan or skip sections.

How to decide what to add

• Start with the sources you already check daily. If you open the same subreddit or YouTube channel every morning, those are the first candidates.
• Use RSS for anything with a feed. Blogs, news sites, and most publications fit here and require no forwarding setup.
• Reserve newsletter forwarding for sources without a feed, or for newsletters you specifically want in the same email rather than in your inbox.
• Keep the list short at first. The point of the product is avoiding overwhelm, so a digest built from a handful of sources is easier to judge during the trial than one with dozens.

Practical notes

• The digest arrives on the days and at the hour you choose, so the schedule is part of the setup, not fixed by the product.
• The site states there are no ads and no algorithm, meaning the order and content come from your chosen sources rather than from recommendation logic.
• The trial is 14 days with no card required, per the site, so you can test your source mix before committing.
• Pricing details beyond the "One plan" heading and trial terms are not specified on the page, so check the site directly for current plan terms.
