Hey r/rss community! 👋
I'm a huge fan of RSS and having control over my news feeds, but I always felt limited by the language barrier when trying to read local news from other countries. So, I built a project called NewsDoggy to solve this.
It’s a global RSS reader, but with an AI twist.
Here is what it does under the hood:
- Massive Global Catalog: I just finished importing and verifying a massive database of over 4K+ active news feeds from all over the world (it was a nightmare dealing with proxies and dead links, but it’s done!).
- AI Translation & Summaries: When an article drops, the system fetches it, translates it to your preferred language, and generates a concise summary. You get the gist of global events instantly without needing Google Translate.
- Smart Feeds: Features a "Global News Live" stream, daily top stories, and semantic search to easily find specific topics across thousands of sources.
- Auto-Discovery: When you add a new feed URL, it automatically pulls the metadata and suggests the right category/tags.
A quick heads-up on how it works when you sign up: Because the AI processing is heavy, it happens asynchronously in the background. After you select or add your favorite feeds, give it a few minutes.
- First, you'll see the raw RSS articles start rolling into your dashboard.
- Then, over the next couple of minutes, you'll see those raw articles magically update with full translations, concise summaries, and sentiment analysis tags.
It's currently running with AI models handling the heavy lifting for translations and semantic search reranking.
I’d love for you guys to check it out! You can add your own custom feeds or explore the global catalog.
Would love to hear your feedback, especially on the UI or how I can improve the feed-fetching engine. Any suggestions are welcome!
