| In the Ancient Times there were a couple of different approaches to something similar to what you are asking for. On the one side, for many years that was what people considered their "home page": you'd use a "Portal" like Yahoo! or MSN.com and they'd support all sorts of customization, including blocks for RSS feeds you'd give it. It's hard to imagine today's super-curated and overly news-obsessed Yahoo! or MSN.com being truly customizable and allowing you to pick and choose RSS feeds over media conglomerate content, but Yahoo! has fallen quite far from its peak and MSN.com and others were always flirting with the media conglomerates over user interests. The other thing that existed in the Ancient Times that even fewer remember today was that HP believed RSS feeds actually could herald the "personal morning newspaper era" and that it would be great for printer and ink sales so they had an RSS reader for years that you'd give it a list of RSS feeds and a print schedule and it would happily have your "morning newspaper" printed and waiting for you. It was an interesting idea, though I still don't think the waste of paper/ink on that was necessarily the best idea for the planet, but there was some romance to the concept of a "personalized morning newspaper". Most e-readers have an RSS app or three, some with strong offline support. You might be able to get what you want from the right app. I've also seen some interesting DIY projects (mostly here on HN) of people taking big e-ink displays and building ambient personal news surfaces. Nothing productized yet, but very cool to see people DIY exploring the "magic mirror" spaces for non-interactive "here's a glance at stuff you care about" displays. |
