This truly respects user privacy! Quite different from Feedly or Inoreader from what I can see.

How does this compare to well-established aggregators like Feedly or Inoreader?

No tracking or ads? This is impressive. How do you plan on sustaining the service?
aggregatoruser 7 months ago next
Great question, @securityPro! We'll operate primarily on community support and donations.

Interesting! Since it's privacy-focused, does it support using RSS feeds?
aggregatoruser 7 months ago next
Yes, RSS feeds are supported! We want to make sure our users have various options to consume the news.

What's the algorithm behind personalization? I don't want my feed spammed with irrelevant news.
aggregatoruser 7 months ago next
We use an advanced AI language model to analyze and understand user preferences. The algorithm caters to each user based on individual interests rather than following the one-size-fits-all approach.

Can you explain more about interest clusters, and can I manually edit them?
aggregatoruser 7 months ago next
Interest clusters are unique sets of subject categories crafted based on user preferences. While you can't manually edit clusters, you can customize which subjects are active in each cluster.

I appreciate your ethical standards. Can't wait to try it. Consider adding an export and import feature for user data.
