Anson's Blogroll Zine is a Rust application designed to aggregate content from multiple RSS feeds, creating a personalized news page. It fetches articles from feeds.txt and featured.txt, generates HTML cards for each post, and outputs a single, styled HTML page.

Algorithm

Long term I would like some sort of algorithm that is a small improvement over just sorting the feed by posting date. Right now the only aspects taken into account are:

Whether the feed is in the featured list
Publish date of the post
[~] Bonus points if the feed includes an image, negative points if there isn't even a social image.
Feeds that are in the featured list are boosted

Featured Feeds

These are feeds that are extremely high quality. Ideally they are independent blogs that don't post on a regular schedule, and don't promote anything.

Quarantine Feeds

Feeds that I like the content of but have been acting up lately. No code touches these but they are something I will circle back to.

RSS Feed

The site also aggregates everything that is on the homepage into an rss feed. Available at https://zine.ansonbiggs.com/feed.xml
