I spend 3-10 minutes scrolling over at least 1/3 of 5000 headlines. Today I open 12 in tabs doing that, I've looked at 3 of those.

I got rid of most things, I only keep [pubDate, url, title] and only if the title doesn't contain any badwords and the pubDate isn't older than the oldest item.

Each item comes with a hours and minutes ago a translate to English button, the domain name, and a blacklist button.

While it does take opml most of my feed lists are just txt files with one url per line.

It loads one of those files then pulls x feeds per second and parses y per second where x and y are adjusted to the pending requests and pending parse jobs.

While you could certainly do many interesting things most of my experiments didn't survive my desire to keep it simple. I for example use to dump the results on a web page. I couldn't convince myself it was useful to the goal.
