Would love to talk to your brother or hear more about this tool. Fraidycat is definitely quite simple on the surface - which might be an advantage, but I am also curious what 'sophistications' could be brought in.

Mostly on the design side that fit a high quality mid 2000s perspective. The next step for content aggregation is tiered ranking of qualitative properties of each news piece. I have a few ideas on what might provide that but it is not a fully formed thought yet.

Yeah, I'm pushing back hard on algorithms and ranking here. Not sure if that's what you mean. I like that it is a dumb tool that isn't doing any concealed magic. It's absolutely apparent how it ranks things. It's then up to the human to explore and curate and shape from there.

However, I do see a place for search. I would love to add search terms like 'Nicholas Cage' and any time his name comes up (or perhaps even a related topic) I can track that.
