NewsBlur VS gorss

I use Newsblur, it’s open source and you can self host, but for the price of the service, I am happy to pay. There are apps for most every platform.

A few years (three at the time of this post) ago, I reported an issue I had in the (Open Source) RSS Feedreader of my choice, NewsBlur.

NewsBlur tries to handle this case by comparing stories and if they match up to a certain percentage of the content, considers them duplicates.

Here's the code that does the work:

I use both NewsBlur and Feedly as paid services, but NewsBlur at least is open source: https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur

Article on Animation Magazine (whose RSS feed I follow with NewsBlur).

Nice approach! I added a very basic keyword filter in my rss reader (https://github.com/lallassu/gorss) to do some sort of "cleaning". But having a section in the reader that would filter out the articles more intelligent would be very nice, and maybe bundled them into clusters.

I've made 2 projects that I use everyday for several years now. Not sure if I'm proud really, but they are such useful tools in my daily life so I guess I should be!

One is a RSS feed reader (GORSS) for the terminal that I use to always be up to date with stuff that interests me. The other is a simple todo-list that I use for work, shopping etc (DoIT).

I use RSS daily, and actually wrote my own RSS client for the terminal recently. (https://github.com/lallassu/gorss)

I used Feedly before, but since I'm usually using the computer then the terminal is good enough for me :)
