Newsreader

npm install
npm start

web.coffee

The web server.

fetcher.coffee

Fetches skimfeed.com main page content, get all the links, stores it to mongo.

ranker.coffee

Assigns 10 news items to next page.

How it works

1. Fetcher stores various news items from different sources to db
2. Ranker assignes page_id to items
3. Web page displays lowest page_id items
4. "Next" button

• For items with lowest page_id, page_id is renamed to viewed_page_id.

5. Items that are clicked, will be marked as clicked in db
6. Items that are saved to Pocket, will be marked as pocket in db

Planned

• Ranker

  • preferred keywords
  • classifier trained with clicked and pocket label ??

• Fetcher

  • filter sources
  • include it in web.coffee, run it time to time

• Web

  • login page
  • settings page
  • next : if no more pages to show, try running ranker

• DB

  • setup indexes
    • links should be uniq

• Package the whole thing as a single tar.gz, with Makefile or something

  • ./install.sh will download necessary binaries, and npm start will run everything
