I liked the newspaper-ey aesthetic, but ultimately it didn't work (for me). There were so so so many items from the various rss feeds, and it wasn't easy to find the ones I wanted out of those. I use newsboat now so I don't clickbait myself.

Maybe there are better ways to handle this issue-some kind of alg that sorts the items I want from a feed and features those. But the places that do that don't, to my knowledge, allow self-hosting. Newsboat is fine.

So I am battling with RSS. I would really like to find (or maybe create?) a solution that feels lik e a digital newpaper I assembe myself once, then open it each morning with coffee and read. No ads, no pops, no diggingh through three layers of websites to get to actual content. How are you guys navigating this (or are you)?
