For me one of the biggest problems in this regard is actually hacker news. I feel I get allot of value out of it but also waste way too much time. So I've been working on something that is intended to send me a daily summary of the top articles in categories that interest me. The idea is that I won't be able to click on other articles that are less relevant to my professional life and save time because I get a short summary on addition to the link. Also won't be able to read comments for a long time.
Would other be interested in that as well and would you be willing to pay for something like that?

Check out HN Digest and Hacker Newsletter for something similar, without the category feature.
How are you planning on implementing categories? How do you decide if a post if interesting to you?
For MVP I'm just using the HN points. The categories are of course the tricky part. I'm fetching the actual articles and then processing them and extracting categories. All of that is the hard part. Especially if you don't only want correct categories but one that remain stable over time and actually have the right granularity that somebody would want to subscribe to it.
