Basically I want a self-hosted version of Google News. If 10 feeds have near-identical coverage of the same story, I want just 1 item, with an option to see the other 9.
I went looking for something like this a couple years ago and found ~nothing. Checked again today and now there are Entirely Too Many Things.
Hoping to find something a bit more established than somebody’s abandoned weekend project. There seems to be an awful lot of that out there right now.
Looking for XML or similar output. Do not need or necessarily want any sort of front end.
Go check out network chucks review of N8N.
He builds a small news aggregator with LLM that crap stuff into discord but you could easily put it anywhere.
I’ve been using miniflux in docker with a miniflux-ai container I found on GitHub, I seem to recall I had issues out of the box and had to tweak it but that was quite a while ago, can’t remember the details. I have it configured to generate summaries of a list of feeds in miniflux when it sees new items. Works pretty well, needs to be restarted occasionally but has been just fine for the amount of time it took to setup.
I’ve searched for something like this in the past and didn’t find anything.
I’ve though of hacking together a few scripts or 8n8 to interface with freshrss to do this but it’s far down my list™Why though? The joy is reading not reading bad versions of the same content?
I’m with OP on this one. I enjoy reading quality content, not just the act of reading. I think the idea is that by using an LLM to help sort through the drivel you have more time to do the reading of the quality content.
And really, I’m always suspicious of the why when an algorithm suggests me an article… Having something less tied directly to a companies bottom line might help me trust the content more.
LLMs aren’t sorting algorithms, they’re fancy keyboard predictions.
