| I'd love a RSS reader that groups items on the same topic.

| For example, let's say I have feeds from 25 news sources and the
| President gives a speech on Ukraine. I end up with 25 articles on
| it, spread across my item list; I need to process it 25 times.
| IME, most items are duplicated at least once - half my items are
| not needed.
|
| If the feed reader would group all the Biden speech articles then
| I could process it once - pick the item I want to read, delete
| the rest. That's also more efficient because it's easier to
| compare the items.
|
| Online news aggregators like Google News already do that, so the
| technology exists, but I haven't seen it in a feed reader. I also
| wonder if the LLMs could group them more accurately.

| Probably not that difficult to be honest

| My most important/only rule for feeds is: Add nothing that
| updates more than once a day. Such websites are better off as
| bookmark in the browser.
|
| And from my ~200 feeds only a fraction actually hit that limit.
| So I have a nice manageable chunk of unreads every day!
