Basically I want a self-hosted version of Google News. If 10 feeds have near-identical coverage of the same story, I want just 1 item, with an option to see the other 9.

I went looking for something like this a couple years ago and found ~nothing. Checked again today and now there are Entirely Too Many Things.

Hoping to find something a bit more established than somebody's abandoned weekend project. There seems to be an awful lot of that out there right now.

Looking for XML or similar output. Do not need or necessarily want any sort of front end.

I've been really happy with Fresh-RSS. Someone else on here put me onto about 6 months ago and it's changed how I consume news.

I find the most time consuming part was/is curating my feed but with tools like RSS-Bridge I can really get fine grain control on what makes it through.

On your LLM summarizer question, yes they have several plug-ins. I've recently started piping the whole feed into Gemini and telling it to pick the top 5 and summarize. But I do that in bash and emacs :

This looks amazing , appreciate the steer on it.

I don't suppose you know if Kindle delivery is supported at all? I use my own dockerized fork of news-sender-kindle which works well in terms of folding everything down into a .epub, but the RSS control is a little fiddly, it doesn't let me preview the articles and amending feeds involves SSHing into an txt file on my server (not ideal).
