I have done similar style for tech news. Aggravating based on Tags. That way I can read tech news on micro topics. https://embit.ca/ Your feedback is appreciated.

Another one you can check out is one I have made for myself and used by friends [1], although only tech news. It also uses more than 100 RSS feeds to aggregate the top 10 news every few hours. Also has tags that can be used to read topic related news.
