NewsBlur

NewsBlur is a personal news reader that learns your taste, so the feeds you follow stop shouting over each other and the stories you actually want rise to the top. The intelligence trainer scores every story by the authors, tags, and titles you thumbs-up or down, then highlights the matches and hides the noise across a site, a folder, or everything at once. Read in four modes without leaving the reader: the raw feed, a cleaned text view, the original page in place, or a story view for long reads. Folders collect related sites, and the River of News pours a whole folder into one scrolling stream for a morning catch-up. Sharing is built in rather than bolted on: your blurblog republishes the stories you pick, friends follow and comment on them, and privacy controls decide who sees what. Saved stories take tags and become searchable, saved searches turn into feeds of their own, and full-text search digs through every subscription. Email newsletters arrive as feeds, YouTube channels can be followed without RSS, and IFTTT or Zapier connections push stories into the rest of your tools. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Benefits

  • A Reader That Learns
  • The intelligence trainer watches your thumbs up and down on authors, tags, and titles, then highlights matching stories and hides the rest across sites, folders, or globally.
  • Reading Without Tab Chaos
  • Feed, text, original, and story views live inside one reader, and folder rivers merge many sites into a single stream, so catching up needs no window juggling.
  • Sharing Built Into Reading
  • Your blurblog republishes chosen stories to followers who can comment in place, with privacy controls for public or friends-only sharing, no separate social account required.
  • Everything Stays Findable
  • Saved stories accept searchable tags, saved searches behave like feeds, and full-text search reaches across all subscriptions, so a half-remembered article is seconds away.

Features

  • Intelligence Trainer Scoring
  • Train classifiers on authors, tags, and titles per site or globally; matching stories get highlighted and disliked topics sink from view.
  • Four Reading Views
  • Switch between the publisher feed, cleaned text extraction, the original web page in place, and a focused story view per article.
  • Folders And River
  • Group feeds into nested folders and read an entire folder as one continuous river, with unread counts kept per site and folder.
  • Blurblog Social Sharing
  • Publish shared stories to your personal blurblog, follow friends, reply to their shares, and control audience visibility per blurblog.
  • Newsletters And YouTube
  • Route email newsletters into the reader as feeds and follow YouTube channels or other pages that never published RSS.
  • Search Tags Automations
  • Search full text across subscriptions, tag saved stories, save searches as feeds, and connect IFTTT and Zapier for outward automation.
