Remove articles based on age

[frapox]

Am I crazy or there is not a function for removing items "older than" certain amount of time? I.e. I want to automatically trash any article that has more than 30 days. How?

No such option. But you can limit amount of articles in feeds and set to ignore fetching old articles. This will make automatic cleaning quite well.

Thanks for the feedback. Indeed, I'm using this cleaning mode, tough the age-based cleaning would be appreciated. Maybe I'll file a feature request.

It's AI generated but this filter worked fine here

function filterMessage() {
    // Define the threshold in milliseconds (30 days)
    const thirtyDays = 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
    const now = new Date().getTime();
    const articleTime = msg.created.getTime();
    
    // Check if the article is older than 30 days
    if (now - articleTime > thirtyDays) {
        // Purge the article from the database
        return Msg.Purge;
    }
    
    // Accept all other articles
    return Msg.Accept;
}
