GitHub - AngeloR/newsriver: A continuous feed of news you care about

NewsRiver

This is a constantly updating list of articles from the preconfigured sites. You can set whatever sites you want to watch (rss and reddit parsers are available) and then the page will reload with new articles from these locations.

I love keeping up with new news.. but I don't have the time to really watch everything. This allows me a super easy way to keep track of the most recent news I want.

Fork the repo
Edit the data/sources.json file adding whatever sources you would like
Copy the .env.sample file over to .env
Run npm start which starts up a local server on port 8000
