@medusa Pocket is now owned by Mozilla, but they've sadly not open-sourced it (yet?), so I guess it's not so bad for a free (as in beer) option

@medusa this is one of the services I suggested adding for #SocialCoop members...

@brennen @muninn @Benjamin oh that's good to know, thanks!

@muninn there's also watson:

@muninn I think you're right, check out this demo for example using off-the-shelf libraries: https://blog.algorithmia.com/create-your-own-machine-learning-powered-rss/

here's a list of everything I found that shared even one aspect with what I'm looking for: https://cryptpad.fr/code/#/1/edit/YKZkE2D-RYmI7qv0P7QFPA/zogSIreLmF71JKprL5+OVIZn/

not much unfortunately...

feel free to contribute!

@muninn Yeah something like that would be interesting! Unfortunately ML is not in my expertise. I've been looking at what exists, and many startups attempting auto curation have come and gone over the years, so it seems like they found it a hard problem to crack. NLP on the other hand could come in handy, with things like sentiment analysis and topic extraction.

@muninn yeah totally, it should just be more like sharing and tweaking recipes, rather than ordering a takeout with your eyes closed

@muninn yes, we need to liberate machine learning to do things like this, but controlled by the user, not some magic central algorithm

What's Dodo?

As part of the volume controls, there'd be the option of viewing links by most shared, or most discussed. Kind of like Reddit.

@Benjamin I'll be searching, and if necessary, coding

To those who ask why I bother? One day my personal AI (no, not Google, me) will read all of it. And what interesting discussions we'll have! Maybe it will even help connect some dots I haven't noticed...

I've been doing this manually for years, saving interesting links I stumble upon into Instapaper and then the Pocket app to read later. The curation itself is such a time sink though, that I end up actually looking at / reading only a small fraction of the content. So it's probably time to automate the curation, and focus on the digestion.

Hello fediverse! What's your favourite personal news curator?

I'm thinking a #selfhosted #FLOSS app that's basically a feed aggregator, which also pulls in links shared by people you follow on various social networks, as well as topics (from hashtags or groups) you're interested in, and crucially, with volume controls (DYI feed algorithm) so you can adjust the signal/noise ratio.

Anything out there?
