Hi everyone!
I'm a KDE user and I think I've come up with something interesting to implement in Akregator, though it might be kind of complicated.
Akregator is my favorite feed reader application and I usually find myself with some repeated articles and news. It might not be exactly the same new, but the message is practically the same.

My idea consists in a filter which identify similar articles, labels them as "duplicated" and, this way, it may save user's time.

I think it would be something pretty innovative (I can't think of any reader with this function) and useful. I'm also aware that implementing might be a little tricky but I think the final result could be used even further than Akrgator itself.

I hope you like the idea and thank you for your time :)

Reproducible: Didn't try

Related to bug 100784, which is about exact duplicates.
Comment 2 Pablo 2011-10-28 16:44:53 UTC
I think is not a duplicate. Identify two articles like similar I think is more difficult than they were exactly equal.

But it's just and idea. :)
