Thanks for the tips, my idea is that, at least for tech news, I should be able to get enough stories from just one place, not having to go through multiple apps to get a grasp of whats going on out there... and maybe in a future include other categories and not just tech.
I also like the idea of pulling the stories from aggregators as its stuff that people is explicitly expressing interest for.

thats what the panda and longform apps do.
you could tell panda you just want hackernews and lobster and dribble.
if youre going to enter this space, these are the competitors you should try out.
it does sound a little bit like reinventing http://www.techmeme.com/river
1) https://longform.org/ http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/longform/id490437064?mt=8
2) https://usepanda.com/ https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/panda-lite/id934805959?mt=8
3) https://redef.com/ app not in appstore
4) medium
5) feedly
Longform has a particularly attractive feature that restores your spot in a page when iOS terminates the app. Longform and Panda and Redef are all incredibly useful without customizing them.
If you are looking for sources check out Panda AND these lists https://redef.com/charts/sources/total http://www.aldaily.com/media http://scitechdaily.com/resources/ http://www.techmeme.com/lb http://www.mediagazer.com/lb http://www.memeorandum.com/lb https://longform.org/archive/publications https://longform.org/archive/writers
I prefer when "save for later" buttons are customizable, so you can set it to save to pocket, pinboard, feedly etc.
