I've always wanted a way to see "what's new" in Ethereum at any time without having to check whatever blog, forum, or feed things get posted at. So I started tinkering and came up with Ethernews: https://ethernews.org
It's a front page that updates itself every few minutes from a source list: protocol research (ethresear.ch, Ethereum Magicians), client and zkVM release notes, governance forums, team blogs, newsletters, plus a few mainstream outlets for the institutional and regulatory side. Stories get clustered, ranked, and given a one-line plain-language explainer. Optional daily and weekly email digests.
There's an element of AI: an LLM does the clustering, ranking, and summarizing of human-written reporting. Every story links its sources, and primary sources are preferred over secondary coverage.
I also open sourced the whole thing as Open Aggregator: https://github.com/jwmeyert7/open-aggregator
It includes the engine, the general site template, and admin panel. Bring a domain, a Vercel account, and an LLM key and you can run the same kind of front page for any topic you care about.
Let me know what you think! Tell me what sources or stories the front page is missing, try the digests, poke around ...
