JARR is a web-based news aggregator and reader for RSS and Atom feeds. It provides a browser-based reading interface and a programmatic API, and includes article clustering based on TF‑IDF to group related items.

Key Features

  • Aggregates RSS and Atom feeds and displays articles in a web reader
  • Article clustering using TF‑IDF (can cluster by link or by content)
  • Browser-based UI with JavaScript front-end and server-side rendering templates
  • Exposes a RESTful API for feed access and integration
  • Search/indexing and full-text analysis used for clustering and discovery
  • Configurable feed management for subscribing and organizing sources

Use Cases

  • Personal or team news monitoring from multiple RSS/Atom sources
  • Research and topic tracking by grouping similar articles automatically
  • Embedding or integrating feed data into other tools via the API

Limitations and Considerations

  • Project is under active development; features and APIs may change
  • TF‑IDF clustering can be resource-intensive for large feed sets and may require tuning
  • No single guaranteed production database or deployment configuration is mandated by the project; operators must choose and configure storage and hosting appropriately

JARR is a focused RSS/Atom aggregator that emphasizes automated article clustering and a lightweight web reading experience. It is suitable for users who want a self-hosted feed reader with content grouping and an API for integrations.
