Ask HN: Is there a news site where you can define sources it must pull from?

I don't need something like Google news, that suggests news based on some algorithm, I need something i can manually add sources to and then it consolidates and classifies all the news from those sources. e.g. I add Bloomberg, Reuters, CNN, and it can pull news from all those sources and show them in one website with different classifications like Finance, Politics, Technology etc

Dave Winer's "River of News" concept/softwares are probably a good starting point

What about Apple News? It can do all this with the iOS 19 update.

This is what an RSS reader does.

I run https://kabonky.com which does exactly that. It's more of a side project but if you find it useful and want a source it doesn't have just let me know and it's likely I'll be able to add it.

This is close to what I want, it would be nice if I could add any source, by URL, even if it means I have to go to the origin site and look for the RSS endpoint myself

The reason I asked for this is, I have a couple of websites that I read at least everyday, to keep up with current news on different categories, combined they are all north of 15 I sometimes even forget which is which, I keep open tabs at work currently to keep them up, I would like to have one website that has nothing by default and I add URLS to my news sources and it will show me news from these sources all day, some of this sources are just websites with no RSS feeds :( so something that works magically would be good, RSS being the fallback if that can't happen
