What Hacker News says
2 sourcesMy setup might not be exactly what you are looking for, but could be close enough:
1. For Atom/RSS feeds, I use elfeed-org[0]. (including YouTube channels). You can also use elfeed-tube[1] to watch videos on mpv without accessing the website.
2. For spaced-repetition, I also use org-drill[2], this makes it easy to take notes while reading PDFs with pdf-tools[3].
3. For priority tracking, I use the builtin org-agenda with org-super-agenda[4] to create "views" based on some metadata[5].
This is all done in the same plain text format (org files) and synced in a Git repository.
