Show HN: Feed.news – A public news feed for anything you care about

Hi HN, I'm Chris and I'm the creator of feed.news.

This idea came about when speaking to a large business congress organisation who struggled to track the coming and going of all of their member organisations. They knew they were doing good work, but not the specifics of what that was.

What I built for them was a tool that would:

- Track inbound emails for annoucements

- Scan the web twice a day to find stories

- Scrape targetted websites

Since then I've reaslised that this is a generalisable problem - many people spend a lot time researching and tracking across a topic - which leaves us with feeds such as

- https://civic-tech-feed.feed.news

- https://uk-data-centres.feed.news

- https://london-restaurants.feed.news

These feeds are quick to setup - configurable in <2 minutes - and deployed to a public sub-domain automatically.

This is my first time launching a product of this scale (only every small tools before!), so I'd value feedback on the platform as it stand right now

Thanks!
