Ask News.YC: What features would you want in a news aggregator?
I'm currently designing a new news aggregator. I know it has been done before. Some of the features that are obvious I already know like rss, friending, voting, etc. I was wondering what else I should implement?
- aaronblohowiak 17y ago"archive"/delete a story to not see it ever again. filters like gmail. better yet, retrieve the associated stories that are linked to, and allow me to filter based on that content. reddit's orange folders. that should be enough to keep you busy for a while ;)
- quizbiz 17y agoGive me a small collection of articles (just their linked titles) of the newest updates about what people I know (as well as myself) are interested in. Send that by email so it waits for me when I wake up. A sliding scale of interests where, for example, I could give the business articles at the New York Times and the market news articles from bloomberg a very heavy weight, while giving valleywag articles a very low weight.
- ScottWhigham 17y agoI'm happy with FeedDemon - I don't want things like friending, voting, etc.
- ScottWhigham 17y agoOh - I did think of one: de-duping. So many news feeds have duplicate titles/syndicated content and it would be helpful to remove those except from a "trusted" source.
