NewsNest is a self-hosted news feed that learns what you care about.

  • AI
  • Productivity
NewsNest is a self-hosted news feed that learns what you care about. It gathers your RSS and Atom feeds (plus GitHub release feeds) into one calm stream, folds the same story from different outlets into a single card, and uses Claude to rank and summarise what matters to you against an interests file you write yourself. Likes, dislikes and opens shift what you see, a calibration mode shows why every story ranks where it does, and a swipe deck lets you rate a backlog with one thumb. Keyword watches, mute filters, full-text search, saved stories and a day-by-day archive are built in. Installable as a PWA, with light and dark themes. AI is optional: add an Anthropic API key for ranking and summaries, with a hard daily spending cap (default $0.50). Without a key everything still works and stories are shown newest first. First run: set a password below, then open the WebUI. The config folder

Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.
