Why Another News Reader?
Because privacy and control of data becomes even more important when we want to add a little Machine Learning in the tools we use. And hackable and fun things are always better than anything else.
Install
Reread can be built with Docker with Docker Compose. Once you have them installed, simply run:
docker-compose up
And a running instance will be accessable at http://localhost:3020
Configuration
There are several variables in ./docker-compose.yml that you need to configure
if you want to deploy Reread into a production environment.
- SECRET_KEY: A secret key that needs keeping secretly. It can be generated easily with things like this.
- DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE: Change this to
storycafe.settings.productionfor production environment.
Hacking the Learning Model
Currently the predict function in reader/learn.py is really naive, but I
found it already enough for personal use. If you want ot hack it, simply modify
the predict_articles function in reader/learn.py.
Issues and Contribution
