This project is motivated by my desire to tailor a news feed that finds pieces I think are worth reading, those that prioritize storytelling and the weaving of ideas. No day-to-day breaking news or clickbait. I thought the HN community would find the article curation of interest.
On the technical side, I used this project to play around with scikit-learn for machine learning and NLTK for NLP. Also, BeautifulSoup is awesome.
I'm aware this site does not conform to the ideal of progressive enhancement -- I'm learning server-side rendering :) Please be kind.
