Hacker News Reader

I have a huge back-log of articles in Instapaper, but there are definitely articles that come up that I want to read right away, so I think the priority system would help for me. Another thought was to add RSS feeds as well, with priority filtering on them as well.

You have Kindlefeeder[1] for feeds. I have not tested it, but it is recommended by Instapaper for people willing to read feeds on the Kindle.

I know about kindlefeeder, but my thought was combining a prioritized Instapaper with a prioritized Kindlefeeder, to give you a daily digest of articles you'd like to read. Backlog and lower priority feeds would fill the digests when you dont have new, high priority articles to read. If you used Instapaper + Kindlefeeder, you'd have 2 digests to read.

Combine that with a hack in the social features of the Kindle to kind of mark "I liked it" or "Not so good" and you can get a machine learning algorithm to automatically select the articles to put up in the list. Sweet :)

Create then iterate ;) Thats further down the road.
