Yeah, with that 3rd party's (and whoever else) policy, Almond is neither "Open" nor "Privacy-Preserving". The title almost seems like clickbait now.

The project itself (Almost) seems very useful though and I would gladly use it if it could run locally instead.

Can you tell me what you found useful?

None of their examples made sense to me... notify me when the nytimes adds an article? So... like constantly? Or filter on a keyword? Like I’m going to know ahead of time all the potential keywords for a given article of interest that hasn’t been written yet? And I need to know that second vs my daily news consumption during the right time?
