Ask HN: Is there a news site where you can define sources it must pull from?

Posted by thasaleni on Wednesday October 05, 2016 @03:32AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I don't need something like Google news, that suggests news based on some algorithm, I need something i can manually add sources to and then it consolidates and classifies all the news from those sources. e.g. I add Bloomberg, Reuters, CNN, and it can pull news from all those sources and show them in one website with different classifications like Finance, Politics, Technology etc

The reason I asked for this is, I have a couple of websites that I read at least everyday, to keep up with current news on different categories, combined they are all north of 15 I sometimes even forget which is which, I keep open tabs at work currently to keep them up, I would like to have one website that has nothing by default and I add URLS to my news sources and it will show me news from these sources all day, some of this sources are just websites with no RSS feeds :( so something that works magically would be good, RSS being the fallback if that can't happen

What about an RSS reader like http://feedly.com?

I run https://kabonky.com which does exactly that. It's more of a side project but if you find it useful and want a source it doesn't have just let me know and it's likely I'll be able to add it.

This is close to what I want, it would be nice if I could add any source, by URL, even if it means I have to go to the origin site and look for the RSS endpoint myself

Dave Winer's "River of News" concept/softwares are probably a good starting point

This is what an RSS reader does.

What about Apple News? It can do all this with the iOS 19 update.
