It's feed aggregator backed by a web crawler that tries to find interesting RSS feeds. Posts are sorted by inverse frequency with the hope that time between posts will serve as a good proxy for quality.
I've been having fun with it! The results are a little strange, sometimes, but I've found some interesting sites that I never would have found otherwise.
I used to spend a ton of time on reddit but, lately, I've been struggling to find content I enjoy there. So, I built a little RSS aggregator. It's hosted at https://www.trybsync.com/
I like the flexibility and control that RSS feeds give me over the content that I consume, but I also spend a lot of time reading reddit comments. With trybsync, I'm trying to achieve some kind of usable middle ground between the two platforms.

Thank you. This is a great idea and I should have added it much earlier.
I took a look at your project! It's very interesting. I hope it works out! I think the problem that you're working on is probably very difficult to solve.
Yes, evalRSS lists content in reverse chronological order in your feed by default. The "top" sorting options just filter out the entries submitted before the last n days and order by total votes. I think that displaying the number of comments each entry has is an excellent idea and I would definitely consider adding a read/unread status message to the entries.
To be completely honest, I have a bias against complex recommender systems because they frighten me. I'm not sure how to build one without assuming that people have some kind of static preference function, which feels like it can't be correct. So, I've been leaving content prioritization as a problem for my future self to solve. There could very well be some fancy mathematical technique to account for this, but I wasn't a good enough student to be familiar with it.
As long as it won't land me in prison for having it on my site, go wild. You can use the site for whatever you like.
And it's an interesting idea! I'm not sure my unsupervised learning skills are good enough to be able to do this without creating some grotesque filter bubbles. If you have some ideas, please feel free to send me an email! I'd love to learn more.
Nobody can see which channels you're subscribed to but, yes, entries from all of the channels that have been entered into the website show up in the global feed.
If you submit a url to an RSS or Atom feed on the account page, the site will generate a page for the channel, take you there, and automatically create a subscription for you.
Or, you can click on the channel name underneath the title of an entry (Published by ___) and there should be a Subscribe/Unsubscribe button near the top of the page.
Hello everyone! I've been wanting an RSS aggregator styled like old-school reddit for a while now and I finally got around to sitting down and writing it this week.
Fair warning - it has very few features and probably many bugs. If you find one, please let me know! I will be eternally grateful.
I noticed that there are some reddit communities with a recurring daily post for users to chat in the comment section, so I made a website to create an endless reddit-style comment sections.
