FeedX

With FeedX you can aggregate all news in a single place. The news might be a RSS feed or just any other supported website.

Example:

---
Monday

[] <hn> Proxyman – native HTTP/HTTPS requests observation and manipulation app
[] <hn> Stock Jump – a ski-jumping game with real stock data
[] <the guardian> Coronavirus news updates: Thousands queue up in Japan to see Olympic flame
[] <zdnet> To succeed in DevOps these days, go hybrid

Sunday

[] <zdnet> Ideas to help you stay fit and healthy while social distancing and self-isolating 
[x] <hn> NPM Is Joining GitHub
[x] <hn> Netflix to cut streaming quality in Europe for 30 days
[x] <hn> Netflix to cut streaming quality in Europe for 30 day

Motivation

FeedX should help you to not get distracted by news.

Approach

The news feed works like the RSS feeds for Thunderbird. Every news is a single line that can be marked as done (archive in the context of Thunderbird). The goal is to move all news to the state “done” when there is time to. In the optimum case this would mean you have a no pending news at some days of the week.

Technically

Technically spoken RSS feeds are easy to add, but any other news site need a parser plugin. FeedX will only show a preview of a news, which might be something like:

• title
• outline
• image
• link to the news
• number of comments and link to the comments
• some kind of popularity rating (as for news pages like HN this is very important)
