News are all over the place.  Blogs, newspapers and\nbroadcasting services mingle together in one web of relevant and irrelevant\narticles with a wide range of quality.\n\nReading news can be very frustrating today:\n\n* Centristic shareholders influence framing and relevance decisions\n* Social networks resonate echo chambers\n* Style variety, ads and click-bait poison your attention\n\nAnchorbot delivers.  It additively merges several newsrooms into an automated\npersonal one.  It presents the news in a way that is easy to the senses and\nhelps you to concentrate on the important things, not the loudest.  You decide\nupon the relevance of headlines.\n\n## Features\n\n* Subscribe to RSS and ATOM feeds\n* Scrape full text and embedded media from articles (similar to [Instapaper](https://instapaper.com) and [Readability](https://readability.com))\n* Highlight selected keyword, the first and last sentence in [paragraphs](https://de.slideshare.net/amandacpoiesis/anatomy-of-a-paragraph)\n* Bot and interface run on local machine. No trust on cloud services required.\n\n## Missing features\n\n* User friendly UI for managing feeds and keywords and stopping the program\n* Display article author\n* Android app\n* reactive web interface\n\n## Setup\n\n### Requirements\n\n* an installed Python 2\n* a running [Redis](https://redis.io) service\n* probably Linux (nothing else tested)\n\n### Install\n\nRun the following as root:\n\n```bash\npip2 install justext Pillow redis_collections flask flask-markdown\ngit clone https://github.com/pschwede/AnchorBot.git\ncd AnchorBot\n```\n\nThis command assumes that `pip2` is pip for Python 2.\nFrom here continue with [Usage](#usage).\n\n## Usage\n\n### 1. Run the bot\n\n```bash\n./bot.py\n```\n\n### 2. Add subscriptions\n\nAdd urls to `~/.config/anchorbot/config`.\n\n### 3. Start reading\n\n```bash\n./start.sh \u0026 firefox 0.0.0.0:8000\n```\n\n### 4. Stop\n\nCurrently not implemented! Try to kill all the anchorbot jobs:\n\n```bash\npkill -f bot.py\npkill -f web.py\npkill -f start.sh\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpschwede%2FAnchorBot","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fpschwede%2FAnchorBot","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpschwede%2FAnchorBot/lists"}
